The Mediators Foundation will lead the project, Philanthropy Bridging Divides, which will culminate in a follow-on convening taking place at Pocantico in New York at the end of 2018. The convening will bring together a group of collaborative funders to discuss how philanthropy can play a role in bridging divides during these difficult times. Some of the topics included in this project are grant mapping, the organization of processes to explore possible collaborative funding opportunities, and research and map cross-spectrum efforts.
