Empowering Underrepresented Communities With Grantmakers' Connections | Matt Strauss, CEO, RiseKit

Описание: The Halo Series | Episode 11
Join Matt Strauss as he dives into how he and his team at RiseKit instill confidence in underrepresented communities by bridging connections to provide better access to corporate jobs.

“DEI is not always just about diversity, equity, and inclusion – just about treating people how they should be treated – that's just the basic fundamentals of what we all need to do in humanity,” says Matt. During this episode, we learn how Matt’s passion evolved into a trailblazing movement, which has led to faster job placement in communities that have historically lacked opportunities. The power of people connections provided by Grantmakers has been critical in helping to fill these roles which leads to these connections being leveraged to create sustainable change.
