Giving Locally for Racial Equity
Community Foundation CEO Susan True and nonprofit leaders shared more about racial equity and impacts locally. In this online event, we discussed what racial equity means, local racial disparity data, and why your giving and involvement matters.
Participants met four local leaders advancing racial equity in Santa Cruz County and had the opportunity to listen to their stories, the impact their work is making, their dreams for 2021, and how you can get involved.

Brenda J. Griffin, President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Santa Cruz County
Maria Elena De La Garza, Executive Director of the Community Action Board Santa Cruz County’s Thriving Immigrants Collaborative.
Cat Willis, Founder and Executive Director of the Tannery World Dance & Cultural Center and leader in the Black Health Matters Initiative.
