Tax Equity Series: Session 1

With major state and federal tax and budget debates on the horizon, California families and communities, particularly immigrant families and communities, may face significant economic hardship in the years to come. Join fellow California funders for a series of engaging and informative sessions exploring critical budget and tax issues affecting the state, including the impact of federal tax and budget measures on California, and what philanthropy can do to influence tax and budget policy discussions. The sessions, featuring expert speakers and foundation peers, will highlight the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in budget and tax policy, immigrant economic inclusion, and systemic reform. Finally, the sessions will be designed to encourage coordination and alignment across California philanthropy.

The Main Goals in 2025 are to:

• Identify opportunities to align and amplify existing and new policy and advocacy efforts
• Engage a broad spectrum of California funders, especially from underrepresented areas
• Build relationships among policy advocacy and economic security funders in the state.

This session will focus on the impact of tax systems on improving outcomes for California children and families.
