| Under the leadership of Rigo Saborio, Archstone Foundation’s commitment to advancing our vision of centering community needs and voices remains strong and certain. This summer, in the midst of several alarming federal policy changes, Archstone Foundation hosted a community engagement event to understand what our grantees were experiencing and what we could do to help. We brought leaders together to collaborate and share ideas, concerns, support, and solutions. In this post for the Center for Effective Philanthropy, Gerson Galdamez and Laura Rath share our approach as a small funder, in the field of aging, to bringing grantees together for mutual support and discussions about the road forward. We invite you to read the post here.
