About this event

  • 3 hours

Join us for an in-person, “not your average" funders briefing luncheon! This is the opportunity to be inspired and well positioned to lean into this turning point where workers are leading a transformation in how we think about an inclusive economy. Funders will get the opportunity to hear directly from participants of the pilot program and hear recommended next steps directly from the field.

As philanthropists, we are uniquely positioned to amplify and accelerate new mechanisms to engage work force professionals as activators to increase the quality of jobs to create better outcomes that lead us toward an equitable economy.

The event will start with a delicious Mexican theme buffet lunch in our Koshland conference room for a 3-hour exciting and engaging deep dive into the success of our pilot ‘work force training project’ including presentations from our California labor partners and UC Berkeley Labor Center.

Philanthropy has a chance to help make history—or be left behind. Are you ready?

ReWork the Bay

ReWork the Bay envisions an equitable Bay Area where everyone, especially low-income working people, have access to quality, empowered jobs -- jobs that allow them to benefit from and shape the region’s economy. We believe it should be possible for everyone to live full lives with security, dignity, and agency in our work, home, and communities. We believe that shared prosperity is everyone’s job. That’s why we bring together leaders in economic justice, education and training, business and philanthropy to advance collective solutions for a diverse and equitable Bay Area. 

Our roots are as a funder table (formerly called the Bay Area Workforce Funders Collaborative) that has granted more than $16 million to support efforts promoting economic mobility for marginalized communities. While we continue to deploy pooled and aligned grantmaking dollars to seed systems change projects, our table now includes leaders and organizations fighting on the front lines to make the Bay Area work for all. Together, we are driven by a deep commitment to advancing racial equity and developing collective solutions needed to tackle the challenges faced by working people in our region.
