## Caption

To help increase transparency and understanding of our grantmaking philosophy, we hosted a series of live webinars where we go in-depth on our approach to funding and our new grant types, including a Q&A session where participants asked questions directly to Kauffman leadership. In this video, application for the second round of Capacity Building grants is discussed. Join Kauffman Foundation President and CEO Dr. DeAngela Burns-Wallace, Chief Impact & Strategy Officer, Allison Greenwood Bajracharya, and Senior Impact Officer Kristin Smithson as they outline the Foundation’s grantmaking philosophy to close economic mobility gaps – and answer your questions.
