What does “place-based” really mean? 🌱

Join us for a special Rooted Together Lunch & Learn with Dr. Shawn Duncan and explore how community-centered grantmaking and resident leadership help create lasting change.

Together, we'll discuss the difference between work that happens in a place and work that is truly driven by the people who call that place home. This introductory session will provide an overview of the growing national movement around place-based work and offer opportunities for discussion, dialogue, and Q&A.

📅 Thursday, June 18
⏰ 11:30 AM–1:00 PM
📍 WESST Enterprise Center | 609 Broadway Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87102
🥪 Lunch provided

Whether you're a nonprofit professional, community leader, or simply interested in learning more about place-based philanthropy, this session is for you.
