Funding Relief, Part I

Graduate Tacoma presents Friday Forums. Join us for this weekly webinar series offering everything from professional development to real-time information during Washington State's Stay Home, Stay Healthy order. Our goal? To be a source of partnership when it matters the most.

This week, we'll consider both how local philanthropy and learnings from 2008 will help us through our current economic breakdown. Hear from individuals behind the Pierce County Connected Fund and the Economic Opportunity Institute as we discuss how best to prepare for economic recovery in the months ahead and where philanthropy will be filling the gap for Tacoma residents and organizations. Featuring:

Erika Tucci, Senior Program Officer, Ben B. Cheney Foundation

Dona Ponepinto, President / CEO, United Way of Pierce County

John Burbank, Executive Director, Economic Opportunity Institute

Moderated by Dr. Tafona Ervin, Executive Director
