In recent years, the American South -- like other parts of the country -- has faced unprecedented challenges ranging from a global pandemic to environmental disasters to heightened political polarization. Philanthropy has responded not only with increased funding, but also new approaches to community investment and civic leadership.

In this webinar, we'll explore Leading with Courage: Reshaping Southern Philanthropy for a New Era, a new report from Philanthropy Southeast that examines the cultural, social, and political forces that are influencing Southern communities and provides an in-depth look at the ways foundations and other philanthropic institutions are adapting to meet the evolving needs of those they serve. The report also discusses emerging trends and innovative practices in philanthropy through the stories of Philanthropy Southeast members and other experts in the field.

Join us to learn more about this report and to hear first-hand from our member panel how Southern philanthropy is being reimagined and reshaped for a new era.
