Across the country, funders are asking deeper questions about neighborhood stability, affordability, and community well-being. Yet many philanthropic strategies overlook the longest-standing form of community infrastructure: faith-based institutions and spiritual communities.

Join Elizabeth Le'anani Coffee, Managing Director at the Lake Institute on Faith and Giving at Indiana University's Lilly School of Philanthropy, and Meagan Longley, Chief Impact Officer at the Austin Community Foundation, to learn more about this timely topic with practical takeaways for all grantmakers within their own communities across the Southwest.
