The RACE + DISABILITY initiative continues to be an example of how we can partner with terrific organizations to help guide our nonprofit community in these important areas. Thank you, Keri Gray, FISA Foundation and The Heinz Endowments for your continued collaboration and leadership.
The Beyond Diversity program for nonprofit leaders in southwestern PA, co-sponsored by FISA Foundation, The Pittsburgh Foundation, and The Heinz Endowments as part of the Race and Disability initiative, held the final leadership cohort session this morning. As always, program facilitator and disability advocate Keri Gray, did a fantastic job guiding a thoughtful and thought provoking discussion and it was wonderful to hear from three of the cohort participants who shared details of the projects they have been working on for the past seven months. I feel very lucky to be able to participate in and support this work of racial justice and disability justice.
