Connecting through convenings

We imagine a Washington where communities can tap into their collective power to advance equity and racial justice throughout the state and beyond. Doing this requires the ability to connect and learn from each other.

Inatai hosts several events each year in service of the organizations we support for community power-building in our state.

Community organizations have expressed the desire to share and strategize with groups that may be working on similar issues and priorities and within the same region. Inatai Foundation offers such opportunities several times a year for community leaders and organizations to cultivate and deepen genuine, meaningful relationships that span across the state and advocacy topics.
