Collaboration, Equity, and Place-Based Work Through an SDG Lens

Using the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to envision and track community progress can take different forms in different communities. This session will highlight the work of three community foundations and how they have worked collaboratively with each other and in their own communities to coordinate nonprofit and philanthropic work, including a conversation about "17 Rooms", the central event in a multi-year community-wide SDG initiative coordinated by a Foundation in Orlando, Florida; a Foundation’s role as the backbone organization for Future Makers Coalition in Southwest Florida; and the work of another Foundation to bring foundations across northern Ohio together to work on community issues through an SDG lens. 

Session Designer: Sandi Vidal, Vice President of Community Strategies, Central Florida Foundation
