Through Northern California Grantmakers’ Racial Equity Action Institute (REAI), participants will gain knowledge, lessons, and tools for developing actionable strategies in their institutions to advance racial equity with field experts and each other.

By deepening our relationships and the connectivity of those in our ecosystem who are committed to change and justice, so much is possible.
