Last week, Global Philanthropy Project launched the Fund Our Futures campaign to raise $150 million in new funding for global LGBTI movements amid rising anti-rights backlash and dramatic shifts in the philanthropic and development assistance landscape. Funders for LGBTQ Issues is proud to be a Fund Our Futures campaign partner. The campaign calls on all donors to step up and protect hard-won LGBTI funding levels, and commit to increase and improve resources for the years ahead. To date, 28 funders have pledged $100 million to the campaign. https://lnkd.in/eDdVr2sG

As a sector, we cannot give in to fear, we cannot back down. Our movements need us to fund more boldly and lovingly than ever before. To remember that as difficult as this moment is, our movements triumphed in harder times. This is a time to organize with precision and care, to be grounded in the wisdoms of movements both stateside and abroad who have looked hate and fascism in the face and said no. We have put together reflections to help funders guide their work in the coming days. We invite you to use these reflections as a tool to explore how your institution will show up in a time where our work can truly make the difference. Read our full statement https://lnkd.in/eat8dccN

Congratulations to Funders' board member, Aldita Amaru Gallardo and the entire cohort of 2024 Soros Equality Fellows! We’re excited to watch your projects take shape.
Congratulations to the 2024 Soros Equality Fellows! These 11 fellows are pursuing projects that advance justice, equity, and human dignity across the United States. The fellows include documentary filmmakers, writers, digital specialists, organizers, researchers, and artists. The Soros Equality Fellowship supports innovators and risk takers striving to create and develop new ways of tackling the systemic causes and symptoms of racial disparity and discrimination. The 2024 Fellows: Allen Kwabena Frimpong will executive produce “The Remedy is Solidarity,” a multimedia anthology to educate and build public will for the demand for reparations across the Black diaspora. Aldita Amaru Gallardo seeks to meet the new moment in philanthropy by mobilizing funds to BIPOC trans movement-building and intersectional racial and gender justice, while training trans leaders to better navigate philanthropy. Esther Armah will create a multimedia digital village where Black and Latino men explore masculinity through power, vulnerability, accountability, loss, and empathy. The project aims to create a healing practice of Emotional Justice. Dania Rajendra will lead a project focused on research, writing, and convening, aimed at expanding the ideas and practices of participatory multiracial democracy within and among diasporic communities. Sandeep Ravindranath will work on a project focused on strengthening democracy and constitutional frameworks within the Indian diaspora. Kevin Powell will produce a documentary film exploring the age-old question, "What is a man?" through the perspectives of Black males ranging from youth to those in their 90s. Jungwon Kim will create a cross-cultural event series and related toolkit focused on transmuting "han," a Korean word for unresolved historical grief and rage, through ritual practices of joyful catharsis and healing. Cori Thomas and Rahsaan Thomas will curate a film festival inside San Quentin State Prison by BIPOC and system impacted people featuring short films made by both currently and formerly incarcerated people. Joseph Phelan will research and develop effective strategies for promoting racial justice narratives through internet technologies and influencer networks. Pushkar Sharma will advance the work of the South Asian Coalition to Renew Democracy (SACRED) to build a just and inclusive democracy, countering the enduring alliance of white supremacist and South Asian supremacist movements that promote racial and caste superiority.
