Philanthropic Equity for MSIs
The event took place on October 19, 2021, from 2 PM - 3:30 PM ET
Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) serve large numbers of low-income and students of color and are critical to our nation's success. Yet, many of these institutions are under-resourced and experience philanthropic inequities when compared to their predominantly White counterparts. This first webinar in a two-part series highlighted MSIs, brought attention to their philanthropic challenges, and discussed opportunities for leveraging institutional identity, data, and partnerships to improve their funding opportunities.
