Occurring on the third Tuesday of each month at 12:30 p.m. ET, CGLR’s Funder-to-Funder Conversations engage the funders who are leading and investing in the 350+ community coalitions in states across the country and those investing on a broader scale. The series seeks to lift up and align the assets of both local and national funders — the local knowledge, earned credibility and trusting relationships that state and local funders bring to this work and the increased access to experts and the latest research and larger funding capacity of national funders.
