Our childhood class experiences and our current class position can have a profound impact on our lives.
In this workshop we’ll explain what we mean by “class” and “classism.” We’ll explore how our class background affects our relationships, our work, our education, and other aspects of our daily lives. We’ll learn about the economy, and how economic policies brought about changes in wealth distribution. We’ll also explore steps each of us can take in our lives and within our institutions to overcome class barriers.
We use a radical sliding scale to determine the amount you will pay (during the workshop you will go through a process, called Cost Sharing, which is designed to make you and us comfortable with your contribution). It is more important to us that you come to the workshop than what you will pay for the workshop. If transportation or childcare costs would get in your way, please contact us and we will try to help. Feel free to contact us with any other needs or concerns you might have.
Registration is required. For more information please contact Class Action: (413) 585-9709 or email info@classism.org. Or register on line at www.classism.org. Please register early, space is limited!

Friends, children of friends, children of donors you work with, donors, colleagues... There is an invitation attached, so feel free to forward it on to anyone you think should be there or direct them to the website (http://www2.tidesfoundation.org/mmmc/) for more information and to register.

Be among the first in the nation to take advantage of this new, innovative, two-day learning program about grantmaking! Using a highly interactive approach together with the most reputable local and national resource materials, you will gain the knowledge and skills you need to do your best work. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet colleagues from around the Pacific Northwest who share your passion for strengthening communities and understand your unique challenges.
This workshop is for grantmakers who are relatively new to the field (less than two years) or for more seasoned grantmakers who are looking to deepen their knowledge and sharpen their skills. However, if you have taken Philanthropy Northwest's Grantmaking Basics previously, please note that this is a different, more intensive curriculum.
