"People’s Action Institute members came to Capitol Hill from all across the country to demand lawmakers stop the deep cuts proposed to health care, housing, and climate resilience that were demanded by billionaires and greedy corporations from Trump and GOP congressional leadership. In a press conference at the Capitol with members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and in private meetings with their Democratic and Republican representatives, People’s Action Institute members spoke frankly about how these cuts will cause direct and immediate harm to their families and communities."

In philanthropy, trust isn’t just a value—it’s a strategy for lasting change. Trust-based philanthropy empowers communities by removing barriers and fostering transparency between funders and nonprofits. Learn how this model is shaping a more equitable future and making philanthropy truly responsive. ?? "We asked difficult but important questions such as: How would we decide how much funding to give to individual groups within our networks? What information would we request from grantees at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the grant? What role should donor partners play? How will we govern ourselves?" — People's Action Institute Executive Director, Sulma Arias. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eJ6-gyZz
