Taking determined and bold steps towards building authentic relationships.

In line with the values of AMPT, the Advisory Council is bringing the nonprofit and philanthropy communities of Chicago together to foster more intentional and authentic relationship building. We are firm in our understanding that in order to build a community you have to be in community.

To that end, we planned a morning of joyful engagement, deep discussion, problem-solving, and meaningful action to change the philanthropic practices in our city. The convening will include a panel discussion, small group sessions, and community-building opportunities as we work together to make real change for our Black and Latine leaders in nonprofits.

This event is the freedom dream of alumni from our first Antiracist Restorative Practice cohort. These nonprofit leaders became the first members of our Advisory Council and were inspired to co-create something for the larger AMPT community that would promote the antiracist values and approach to building the capacity of community-based organizations in Chicagoland.

With the support of the Funder Council, this event brought members of the nonprofit and philanthropic communities together to engage in transformational and not transactional ways.
