About this event
The University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service Center on Community Philanthropy will host the 2023 Advancing Equity Award ceremony and the inaugural convocation for the Racial Healing Certification Program on Thursday, January 19, 2023 - in commemoration of National Day of Racial Healing.
The Advancing Equity Award is presented to organizations using innovative solutions to address racial inequalities in their communities and advance progress toward inclusion. The award recipients will receive support to continue and enhance their efforts.
The Racial Healing Certification Program is the first designation of its kind designed to provide specialized training, education, and unique experiences that promote skills development and competencies in the targeted area of racial healing.
The National Day of Racial Healing (NDORH) is an opportunity for people, organizations and communities across the United States to call for racial healing, bring people together in their common humanity and take collective action to create a more just and equitable world. NDORH is a part of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) effort – a national and community-based process to plan for and bring about transformational and sustainable change and to address the historic and contemporary effects of racism.
