The SAFSF Forum will again be held online in 2021 to bring you the opportunities for real-life learning and peer connection that funders look forward to all year. Spanning two weeks, from May 3-14, 2021, the 2021 SAFSF Forum is a curated assortment of thought-provoking, timely, and diverse programming developed by your SAFSF funder peers.
This opening session will shine a light on how philanthropy’s practices examine how our practices have perpetuated the systems that have failed us, and amplify the voices of food systems leaders who are showing us the way toward a more just, equitable, and sustaining food system.
We invite you to join us for an informal welcome to the SAFSF network, and an opportunity to connect with peers and connect with friendly peer faces you’ll be able to recognize on Zoom throughout the rest of the Forum.
This session will explore, educate, and generate thoughtful dialogue around the interconnectivity of cross-border food systems. Presented by International Community Foundation.
Step away from your desk chair, kitchen table, or workspace for a grounding exercise and movement break. Join Erica, a Radically Fit instructor, in this 30-minute movement break.
Join us for an online version of informal networking in small groups, complete with virtual tables; listen in to what others are thinking about and learning at the Forum, connect with others in the SAFSF network, and join the dialogue.
Bring your questions—big and small—about local, state, Tribal, and federal food and farm policy, or join just to listen in about what’s on the mind of your peers.
