Expanding the Pie: How Unions Can Partner with Foundations
This session will give participants a general overview of how foundations work and focus on three partnerships between labor unions and foundations. These partnerships are: The New York Education Justice Fund, the Labor Innovation for the Twenty-First Century (LIFT) Fund and Wall Street Accountability. We will have ample time for the audience to ask funders questions about how foundations work.
