On June 18, nonprofit leaders, advocates, funders, and community members will come together to explore the opportunities and challenges facing LGBTQIA+ communities across our region and how philanthropy can be a stronger partner in advancing change.
The program will feature a panel of local leaders and a spotlight conversation focused on partnerships, funding, and community impact.
This panel will explore how funders and nonprofit leaders are navigating a shifting philanthropic landscape at a time when support for diversity, equity, and inclusion is facing growing pushback and resources are tightening, even as community needs remain urgent. The conversation will bring together voices from Baton Rouge and New Orleans to share how they are sustaining momentum, building partnerships, and maintaining long-term investment in Black communities while responding to both funding constraints and a changing cultural and policy environment. The discussion will highlight the challenges and opportunities ahead, with a focus on collaboration, resilience, and aligning resources with community-informed priorities
