Akonadi Foundation funds powerful movements and coordinated campaigns to shape a racially just Oakland.
关于我们
Akonadi Foundation is one of the first place-based family foundations to make racial justice a central focus of our giving. We follow the lead of organizers on the frontlines of the movement for a racially just Oakland. For more than two decades, we have invested audaciously in Black and people of color-led organizing to make Oakland a beacon of justice and liberation for the nation. Since 2000, Akonadi has given more than 1,800 grants totaling $43 million to organizations that center power building and organizing in Black communities and communities of color. Our philanthropy is focused on organizing, advocacy, and healing and culture to build the power and voice of communities of color. Learn more at akonadi.org.

Although Nelson German is originally from NYC, he’s proud to call the Bay home. Oakland gave Chef Nelson the gift he’d been dreaming of for years – his restaurant, alaMar. As the executive chef and owner, Nelson is proud to share his Dominican heritage through the menu and aims to spread joy to every person he prepares a meal for. After alaMar was burglarized a couple of months ago, it was community support that kept them afloat. We’re so proud to feature him as the first spotlight in our #WeLoveOakland storytelling campaign. Watch Chef Nelson’s full story at weloveoakland.akonadi.org.
