The most constant factor in the world today – is change. Sometimes it seems like no matter how well prepared we think we are, unexpected factors keep shifting the road to success, causing roadblocks to constantly pop up to challenge us. And, with the onslaught of what seems like a “natural disaster a week” as well as other emergencies, how does corporate philanthropy respond in a meaningful and timely manner? This session will explore the tools needed to be successful in addressing the needs of our communities as we navigate the changing world. We invite you to join our next virtual meeting of the NJ Corporate Philanthropy Network where Chicago’s Lisa Dietlin, President and CEO of the Institute of Transformational Philanthropy, will provide us with practical tips on how to successfully handle unexpected challenges that seem to face us more regularly in today’s environment.

This program is only open to staff and trustees from grantmaking organizations.
Narratives shape policy, sway elections, and determine whose voices are heard or silenced. Media is not just a communication tool: it is civic infrastructure, as essential to democracy as roads and schools. Yet the systems that shape our shared understanding are collapsing, consolidating, or being strategically captured.
This four part Media Learning Series designed in partnership with Independence Public Media Foundation is for funders who recognize that the fight for justice, equity, and democracy is also a fight over the stories we tell, and who gets to tell them. Through four dynamic sessions, we’ll explore how media and narrative power underpin every funder’s work, regardless of sector. Participants will move from conceptual understanding to actionable strategies for funding community-driven media and narrative ecosystems that can endure and adapt over time.
Across the series, you will:
Understand how today’s media systems shape public imagination, democracy, and movement building and why current funding approaches often fall short.
See how community led narrative work fuels organizing, shifts policy, and builds long-term power.
Learn how to assess and invest in the media and information needs of the communities you serve.
Leave with concrete steps, peer connections, and tools to begin or deepen your media funding practice.
SESSION LISTINGS:
Session 1 – Wednesday, 10/8, 12-1 PM via Zoom
Who Tells the Story?: Media, Power, and Philanthropy’s Role in Shaping the Narrative
Session 2 – Wednesday, 10/22, 12-1 PM via Zoom
How Narrative Fuels Organizing, Movement-Building, and Policy Change
Session 3 – Wednesday, 11/5, 12-1 PM via Zoom
Building Community Information Power from the Ground Up
Session 4 – Wednesday, 11/19, 12-2 PM In-person (location TBD)
Taking Action, Learning, and Adjusting: Building a Media Funding Practice that Lasts
We encourage you to attend the entire series, as each series will build on the last. However, we welcome you however you can show up. Recordings and resources will be available after each meeting. The stakes are high and the moment to act is now. Funders who engage today can help ensure that tomorrow’s media landscape reflects the full diversity, truth, and resilience of our communities.

Confounded by what to do and how to be in your role right now? What does it mean to be focused on a vision of racial equity, well-being, gender justice, economic health when people, institutions, and the systems that have allowed most of us to at least limp along are literally under attack?
With manufactured chaos causing increased threats and real impacts to our safety, our communities face even greater challenges in understanding how and where to strategically invest time, money, and energy. Part presentation and part experiential workshop, this mini-lab led by Change Elemental is designed to meet this moment by supporting us to move in complexity and chaos toward visions of a more just and safer future.
Participants will be invited to learn more about and/or deepen your practice of:
Advancing liberation and sovereignty
Sharing leadership and power
Valuing multiple ways of knowing
Creating space for inner work
Influencing complex systems change
Working with real-life examples, we will dive into what a future of liberation and sovereignty---a future that centers interdependent, whole people and whole communities---looks like and how we might be in support of nonprofits who are actively engaging in the strategies of blocking attacks, building power, cultivating belief, and bridging communities.
Whether you are an evaluator seeking to disrupt existing mental models for evaluating strategy or measuring impact or you're a program officer seeking ways to disrupt power dynamics and build meaningful partnership within the communities you serve, this experience will lead to specific actions for moving effectively with purpose in this moment.
What will I learn?
Session participants will leave with:
New frameworks and ideas for applying them to advance a liberatory future in complexity and chaos
A guiding question and tools to support ongoing experimentation
A taste of what practicing liberation and sovereignty can mean, be, and feel like
A call to support more spaces rooted in being in healthy, continuous, and mutually accountable relationship with self, each other, and the more than human world
