Faced with rising social division and discord, the philanthropic sector is increasingly pursuing strategies to connect and collaborate across differences and counteract toxic polarization. In 2023, the Council, PACE, and New Pluralists teamed up to conduct a landscape scan to better understand how funders are currently investing and engaging with work related to bridging, belonging, conflict transformation, pluralism, and building common ground. Join us for a sneak peak at the key findings in advance of the release of the full report this spring and learn how you can develop the heartset, mindset and skillset to bridge differences through two exciting Council programs, Building Together and the Bridging Differences Leadership Cohort.
