"Giving Back: Expanding the Traditional Circle of Philanthropy"

Renae Gray is executive director of the Boston Women's Fund, of which she is a founding member with over 20 years involvement. She has worked for non-profits such as the Haymarket Peoples' Fund, Women's Theological Center and Cambridge Algebra Project. For the past several years she has been a consultant with Visions, Inc., an organization that works on issues of race and multiculturalism. She serves on many Boston-area boards, including those of the Cambridge YWCA and Cambridge Cares about AIDS.

Renae was also involved with the early creation of the Funding Exchange, a national organization based in New York. She comes to us with a passion for women's experiences, work & travel, and will present a non-traditional look at giving in the communities of African American and Asian women.

THE JUSTICE SCHOOL -- FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH!

The Justice School is a new social justice program for children and youth on Sundays at 11:00am at Community Church.

The program is free and you may enroll your child at any time during the year.
