Join us for the second Momentum Summit, a gathering of thought leaders for inspiration, connection, and education on the latest trends in philanthropy. On August 7th at the Strand Theatre, we're hosting a screening of Diminished Returns: The Black Wealth Gap in Washington D.C., a powerful documentary exploring the persistent racial wealth gap in the nation’s capital and its impact on Black families, entrepreneurs, and communities navigating systemic barriers while striving for stability and generational wealth.
Following the film, engage in a dynamic panel discussion, Storytelling as a Strategy: How the Narrative is Changing and the Future of Philanthropy. Panelists from across the country will share their perspectives on the current issues facing the philanthropic sector and the opportunities—and challenges—impacting Black leaders and communities nationwide. Together, we will explore how shifting narratives can be leveraged as a strategy to disrupt extractive practices, build community trust, and drive systems-level change toward racial and economic justice.
Whether you are a funder, nonprofit leader, advocate, or community member, this conversation will illuminate how narrative change and authentic storytelling are critical tools in reimagining philanthropy’s role in closing the racial wealth gap and investing in the future.
