Sembrando Conexiones: Reflections from Our Learning Journey in Yucatán Discover how centering local leadership creates transformative opportunities and why the organizations we met aren't waiting for solutions—they're actively creating them through centuries of wisdom and innovative practices. From seed sovereignty with Indigenous farmers to feminist collectives transforming gender justice approaches, our three-day immersion revealed a powerful truth: effective philanthropy requires genuine partnership, not just funding. https://lnkd.in/gRUAfsph Gracia Goya Ana Marie Argilagos

Casey Foundation, whose leadership as an Afro-Dominicana is reshaping philanthropy through a powerful cross-cultural lens. "My vision is a society where human value is constant and not subject to shifting trends... We must respond to the moment we are in by going about our business in a deliberate, steadfast fashion." In our latest "Intersections of Resilience" conversation, Karina shares how her work connects marginalized communities with resources for self-determination and calls on philanthropy to practice "deep, appreciative listening." ??

In the embrace of collective wisdom this past June, something powerful emerged when 60 human rights defenders from across Mexico gathered to reimagine their relationships with resources, power, and philanthropy itself. Often, philanthropy has operated within systems that mirror colonial and patriarchal structures. The flow of money often reinforces existing power dynamics rather than dismantling them. At HIP, we recognize that our work must go beyond moving resources – we must question and transform how philanthropy works at its core. When these incredible?defensoras?came together, they moved beyond funding challenges. They excavated the deeper structural issues embedded in how we think about value, sustainability, and economic justice. This is how?Sostenerse, Sostenernos – Sustain Me, Sustain Us?came to life. This manifesto is a living document serving as a starting point for transformative philanthropy. It is an invitation to join them in building a more just, equitable, and sustainable approach to funding human rights work. The path forward demands courage: to cede power, to trust community wisdom, and to recognize that true philanthropy doesn’t create dependency but fosters liberation. As we carry this manifesto forward, we ask all funders to commit to resourcing the wholeness of those doing the work – their security, their healing, and their?comunidad.?

Race-explicit grantmaking is not something we can compromise on. HIP, together with our partners at the Racial Equity Advancement and Defense Initiative (READI), has identified a number of actions organizations can take to ingrain race-explicit grantmaking into their DNA and spur others to do the same in pursuit of transforming the field of philanthropy together. Check out the Transformative Actions here and let us know which of these actions you will take—or how HIP can help you take steps towards doing so. ABFE.
