Pivots in philanthropy

Pivots in PhilanthropyCongratulations to the Hawai‘i Alliance of Nonprofit Organizations (HANO) for successfully transitioning their annual conference online this year. Three hundred thirty-six people joined the virtual HANOCON to learn, network, forge new connections, and discuss sector issues. Marisa Hayase, Program Director – Hawai‘i for the Weinberg Foundation, participated alongside four leaders in Hawai‘i’s philanthropic community in a panel discussion focused on sharing the perspective and experiences of funders. She provided insights into how giving practices, values, and attitudes have changed since the pandemic in the wake of our national and local conversations around race equity and other societal upheavals impacting the way we share resources.
