SUMMARY:Justice Bell Program: Pennsylvania Women and Their Fight for the Vote
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Lackawanna Historical Society and as part of the America250PA initiative\, Women in Philanthropy invites you to an evening that brings history to life.Join us for a 19-minute screening of Finding Justice: The Untold Story of Women’s Fight for the Vote\, followed by a Q&A with filmmaker and Justice Bell Foundation Executive Director\, Amanda Owen.Part present-day detective story and part historical account of the movement for voting rights\, Finding Justice tells the story of a band of intrepid women and the Justice Bell—a one-ton bronze replica of the Liberty Bell with its clapper chained to symbolize women’s silenced voices\, which toured all 67 Pennsylvania counties in 1915 and was finally rung in Philadelphia in 1920 after ratification of the 19th amendment.This powerful story reminds us that access\, voice\, and participation have always been at the heart of stronger communities\, and continue to shape the work we do together today.Signed copies of Amanda Owen’s book\, The Justice Bell: Tracing the Journey of a Forgotten Symbol\, will be available for purchase. Light refreshments will be provided. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:What PA Navigate Means for Your Organization (and Future Funding)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informational session on PA Navigate\, a statewide tool supported by the Commonwealth to better understand community needs and help guide future funding and resource decisions.PA Navigate plays a unique and important role in shaping how needs are identified across Pennsylvania. Data collected through the platform is used at the state level to identify service gaps\, unmet needs\, and funding priorities. Participation helps ensure your organization’s work—and the needs of the people you serve—are reflected in statewide conversations that influence future funding priorities and resource decisions.Who Should Attend: \n\n\n\n\nFrontline providers – Organizations working directly with individuals and families every day\, who see service gaps and unmet needs firsthand\n\n\n\nSystem leaders – Organizations and institutions that coordinate services\, shape partnerships\, and help align efforts across sectors\n\n\n\nPolicymakers – Elected officials and public sector leaders who use data to inform decisions\, set priorities\, and direct funding\n\n\n\n\nThis session will provide a clear overview of how PA Navigate works\, how it complements existing tools\, and what level of engagement may make sense for your organization. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions\, gain insight into how this data is being used across the state\, and explore practical next steps\, without any expectation to commit.As part of its role as a community convener\, the Scranton Area Community Foundation is hosting this session to help nonprofit\, healthcare\, government\, and community leaders better understand PA Navigate and its growing role in statewide planning and funding conversations. While the Foundation does not operate the platform\, it recognizes the importance of ensuring Northeastern Pennsylvania organizations and communities are informed and represented as these systems continue to evolve. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
