Funding Rural

C’Ardiss “CC” Gardner Gleser is an advocate for social impact and racial justice work. In episode six, CC shares her experiences as a Black woman working in philanthropy after George Floyd's murder and she talks about the historical precedence of double standards in the workforce. She also covers her current work on reparations. CC and host Erin Borla got to know each other while serving as Fellows for the National Center for Family Philanthropy, and they often noted how challenges in inner-city communities echoed challenges in rural and remote communities. In both spaces, the ways funders show up often determines their impact.
