So what can you do? • Acknowledge “knowing what you don’t
know”• Connect to those in the philanthropic
community who are granting in your geography of interest
• Increase your identification, empathy, and sensitivity to factors affecting cultures of giving
• Ensure events and publications are culturally sensitive
