A June appeals court ruling put philanthropists on notice: Any grants limited to people of a specific race could be illegal. The 2-1 ruling on Equal Rights v. Fearless Fund temporarily blocked a venture fund and its foundation from making grants to Black women entrepreneurs. The ruling tests the legality of grant making designed to benefit people of color. This online forum will explore how foundation, nonprofit, and legal leaders are thinking about this ruling, as the Equal Rights v. Fearless Fund case winds its way through the courts.
