In response to its recent expansion into the Midwest, The Pivot Fund is convening a gathering of esteemed donors, funders, and philanthropists of color to elucidate its unique methodology of landscape analysis, which distinguishes it from other intermediaries and organizations dedicated to bolstering BIPOC local news. The luncheon will contextualize Pivot’s work within Georgia and provide insights into the Midwest, offering an overview of the process and preliminary findings.
The event will culminate in a panel discussion featuring:
- Tracie Powell, Founder and CEO of The Pivot Fund
- Jean Marie Brown, Director of Research, Learning, and Evaluation of The Pivot Fund
- Tim Murphy, Program Officer at the McKnight Foundation
- April Ross, CEO of BEE TV Network
- Sophia Qureshi, Founder and Publisher of 285 South
The panel dialogue will center around strategies for enhancing journalism funding and philanthropic efficacy, publishers' utilization of data to empower their newsrooms, and Pivot's strategic positioning in advancing BIPOC-led newsrooms.
This event is supported by the Knight Foundation.
Parking is free.
