Getting Closer: Social Entrepreneur & Funder Mixer
Description:
New Profit and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation host a meetup for funders to discuss how they are ‘practicing proximity’ in their work. Join us to explore how funders and social entrepreneurs can co-design solutions, influence policy, shift resources, and advance a new era of trust, shared power, and innovation in education. This meetup is for anyone who understands that breakthrough solutions most often come from leaders grounded in the communities they serve.
