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. Join Kauffman Foundation Chief Research, Learning, & Evaluation Officer, Dr. Yvonne Owens Ferguson, Chief Impact & Strategy Officer, Allison Greenwood Bajracharya, and Miles Sandler, Impact Director as they outline the Foundation’s grantmaking philosophy to close economic mobility gaps – and answer your questions.
