About this event

You’re invited to join the Democracy Funders Network for a funder briefing on our forthcoming rapid issue brief, A Funder’s Guide to Combatting Disinformation.

Disinformation is a growing problem in the United States, and acts as an amplifier and accelerant for a variety of democracy concerns such as growing sectarianism and extremism, declining trust in institutions, and voter suppression. In response to the rising importance of this issue and growing interest in it in the philanthropic community, DFN is publishing a rapid issue brief to help orient funders to the current state of the field.

Join us to hear from Ari Eisenstadt, DFN Senior Researcher and author of the brief, as well as other leading experts in the field. Funders will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and to discuss their own strategies and thinking about this issue.

Speakers:

  • Ari Eisenstadt, Senior Researcher, Democracy Funders Network
  • Sarabeth Berman, CEO, American Journalism Project
  • Kelly Born, Director, Cyber Initiative, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
  • Aaron Goldzimer, CEO, Goldzimer Group
