Teleconferences
As part of our commitment to create learning spaces for grantmakers to discuss LGBTQ philanthropy, Funders for LGBTQ Issues hosts regular teleconferences on current LGBTQ issues.
Every two months, foundation staff members and trustees interested in exploring a given topic are able to dial into a teleconference through our toll-free service. Once connected, they can hear a panel comprised of some of the country’s leading experts.
To take part in our upcoming teleconferences, please contact Marvin Webb, Office Manager, at 212-475-2930 or marvin@lgbtfunders.org.
