For nearly a decade, the UNITY summit has been a critical space where funders, organizers, and community leaders unite to strengthen our movements, increase investments in our communities, and support the philanthropic sector to meet the moment. We are living through a time that demands bold initiative, deep connection, and unwavering solidarity. The challenges we face are immense, but so is the power we hold when we come together. This is a space where we strategize, build, and strive toward justice.

​

 

Goals

• Advance philanthropy grounded in justice and solidarity to build power toward collective liberation.

• Magnify CHANGE partners' community priorities with an intersectional approach.

• Amplify intersectional social justice practices in philanthropy that challenge structural and institutional inequities across ability, class, gender, race, and sexual orientation.
