Art moves and inspires. It can provoke thought and lead us to insight. It can expand our vision or awe us with beauty. From Diego Rivera to Mahalia Jackson to Bill T. Jones, art has also been a force for progressive social change. Despite its power to transform communities, change hearts and minds, and inspire action, arts and culture are often left out of discussions of social change funding strategies. This session will explore how donors can support the arts - and social change - to bridge this important gap building progressive movement.

The 2004 election was a watershed for progressive electoral organizing with increased funding, better coordination in the field, and quantifiable success in registering and mobilizing progressive constituencies. As we look to another important national election, what lessons from 2004 can we apply to 2006? Come to this session and design a philanthropic approach that addresses the urgent opportunities of 2006 and creates the infrastructure to build long-term, sustainable progressive electoral power.

The alarm has been sounded. Hurricane Katrina was a wake up call to the people in this country. The ways in which race, class and income disparities continue to plague this nation has never been so clearly illustrated. What do we do with this moment? How can we support rebuilding efforts that address these social and economic inequities? This session will explore post-Katrina construction in its broadest context including how to connect those efforts to maintain and spark a broader discussion about race and class in America.

The seemingly unified vision built around faith and morality was a starting point to explain the puzzle of the Right's rise to power. Appealing to themes of "personal responsibility", "tax relief" and "morality", they were able to seize power and exploit our fear through Orwellian "Patriot Acts" and "Clear Skies" initiatives. How do we reclaim language in a way that defines our own vision and values? Can a "progressive morality" effectively counter the Right's vision? How do we translate our vision into concrete action? Join a discussion that will address those questions and perhaps an even harder question: How can we support this work?

The world is getting smaller. Products, expertise and ideas are flowing across borders with dizzying speed and ease. As big businesses and free markets embrace globalization, social activists and philanthropists are also embracing this change. Unfortunately, this donor interest in global giving is colliding with a daunting and ever-changing regulatory environment. This session will illustrate tangible strategies for navigating this environment and supporting social justice throughout the world.

At this session, participants will collectively design a funding strategy for a Sustainability Initiative that enhances the environment, economic security and community integrity.

According to a recent poll conducted by the Pew Research Center 82 percent of Americans feel that an increase in the minimum wage is an important priority. Raising the minimum wage and other economic justice campaigns provide the progressive movement with one of our clearest opportunities to connect the public with our values, broaden our base, and win real victories for working people. Together we will explore how donors can support short- and long term strategies to broaden economic opportunity and increase the power of progressive movement.
