At the same time, we are focusing internally to ensure that our internal structure and practices advance racial and ethnic equity and justice.”
“When the pandemic hit in early 2020, we made the strategic decision to shift cost savings from cancelled events and travel to expand grants we award to our network members,” said Jennifer Blatz, president and CEO, StriveTogether.
StriveTogether has provided $20 million in grants since the onset of the pandemic in 2020 and will award another $12 million by the end of 2021. Multiyear commitments from several long-time investors in StriveTogether helped make this possible.
