The Hudson-Webber Foundation Board of Trustees has approved a $50,000 grant to support the Detroit Area Workforce Funders Collaborative (DAWFC) in advancing equitable workforce development in Metro Detroit. As the newest partner of the National Fund for Workforce Solutions, the collaborative is working to center worker voice, promote racial equity, and build sustainable, inclusive solutions. Together with local partners and a national network, they’re building a more inclusive and just workforce system. We’re especially proud that Michael Shaw, Hudson-Webber Foundation’s VP of Programs, serves as co-chair of DAWFC. Together, we’re moving equity and justice forward. #HWF #HudsonWebberFoundation #hudsons #detroit #foundation #philanthropy #WorkforceEquity #DetroitAreaWorkforceFundersCollaborative

In our work, we must foster environments where everyone feels valued and included. But that’s easier said than done. Tuesday November 19th 120:00 - 1:00 PM EST https://lnkd.in/gfMeuwib When we encounter oppressive behaviour—whether blatant or nuanced—how do we respond? Do we call it out immediately and address it head-on? Or do we call it in, inviting deeper reflection and conversation? This is the focus of the Community of Practice with Tanya Rumble MPNL, CFRE, CMP, MFA-P™. Together, we’ll explore these essential skills and learn when and how to deploy them in our internal work and interactions with donors and volunteers. Whether you're an experienced professional or just beginning to think about equity and anti-oppressive practices, this is a chance to build your confidence and toolkit for creating meaningful change in the workplace and beyond. Join us for some skill-building as we commit to being more intentional, thoughtful, and impactful in our everyday work. Let’s create workplaces and communities where everyone can thrive. Tuesday November 19th 120:00 - 1:00 PM EST https://lnkd.in/gfMeuwib #EquityInAction #AntiOppressiveWork #Philanthropy #Leadership #SkillBuilding

When DeAngela Burns-Wallace took the top job at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation last year, one of her first tasks as a was to get staff members to talk to one another. Since 2020, the Kansas City grant maker’s employees had dwindled from 115 to 84. Morale, the board informed her, was dragging. Staff members across program areas didn’t have a clue what their colleagues were working on, and a lack of trust in leadership permeated the building. To bridge the foundation’s siloed programs, Burns-Wallace has restructured her staff, combining them into one “impact team.” Staffers are now asked to take a holistic view of the foundation’s efforts and assess how its grants to nonprofits and collaborations can improve life in the city.

For more than 30 years, we’ve been committed to helping leaders and organizations in the Mississippi-Arkansas Delta build lasting impact. This includes working to strengthen schools and educational programs, support small businesses and economic opportunity, and invest in the innovators working to make an inclusive, equitable and thriving Delta a reality. But big change requires a roadmap. Which is why — after many thoughtful conversations with people who call the Delta home — we built a playbook to have all our partners on the same page. We call it our “Theory of Change.” Take a look! It’s just the start of the conversation: https://ow.ly/NYqy50RG8UW #MississippiDelta #ArkansasDelta #CommunityEmpowerment #CommunityImpact #Philanthropy #Collaboration #EconomicDevelopment #EducationInnovation #FutureofWork #CareerPathways
