Brad Bedingfield to Present "Race- and Sex-Based Grantmaking in 2025"

September 13, 2025

Brad Bedingfield will present "Race- and Sex-Based Grantmaking in 2025" at the ACTEC 2025 Rocky Mountain Regional Meeting September 12-13, 2025.

About the Session

Donors wishing to provide a leg-up to historically disadvantaged groups have long established grantmaking programs that take race, sex, or other identity criteria into account. Those programs are now under assault, both from private litigants and from the federal government. Brad will discuss what the law currently allows in this regard, and what charities (including private foundations, community foundations, and higher ed institutions) currently managing these funds and programs are doing with them in light of these pressures. Brad will also discuss practical alternatives to allow donors to impact historically disadvantaged communities in a way that better positions them to navigate these challenges.
