Questions
• What are the major challenges you perceive to grantmaking in the suburbs?
• Who are the “quarterbacks” in this region? What barriers do they face to scale?
• Are there regional (or sub-regional) tables at which funders come together to collaborate?
• How can philanthropy and government (federal, state, county, municipal) help each other to confront suburban poverty in the region?
• What further research/advocacy is needed to help move these ideas forward?
