This year's event highlights and celebrates the impact of the Capacity Building Fund. United Way was given the donation totaling $25 million from MacKenzie Scott to foster long-term stability of Black and Brown-led organizations by providing multi-year, general operating grants, to center the resident voice, and sponsor systems-change work led by our communities.

We will be showcasing the work of 40 organizations that received funding and connect the commitments that guided the Capacity Building Fund with the broader goals of Diversity Leadership Society to uplift the work done in Reducing Barriers to Employment and Advancement. Guests will have the opportunity to connect with the non-profits who received funding and learn more about how to continue uplifting their work with United Way. This event reinforces the importance of equitable investments to provide our communities the opportunities to succeed and thrive.
