Most Americans support working with those holding different beliefs, and foundations are committing more of their resources to this work. That's the headline from a new Council on Foundations report we funded in partnership with Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE). Among the findings: ?? ?85% of foundations have funded connecting across differences within the past 10 years ?? ?Nearly a quarter allocated more than half of their grantmaking budget to this work. ?? ?More than 90% of those funding this work increased or maintained their investments between 2021 and 2022.

For Racial Progress, Endowed Philanthropy Needs to Endow Its Grantees John H. Jackson and Susan Taylor Batten, Guest Contributors | February 01, 2024 Last November, school board candidates supporting honest and antiracist public education won the majority of elections across the country. This marked a watershed and encouraging moment for inclusive and comprehensive public education. It was an election proof of the power of grassroots movement building. For decades, organizers and leaders of color have been showing up at school board meetings. Participating in parent advisory groups. Organizing at state capitals. Registering voters. These activist students and parents are sustaining the fiber of our democracy and protecting our constitutional rights. Yet, as we found in our recent research with Candid, BIPOC-led organizations remain grossly underfunded, despite philanthropy’s stated commitments and interest in advancing racial justice. As the Schott Foundation will detail in a soon-to-be-released update of the #JusticeIsTheFoundation data project, the data still only shows 14% of all K-12 philanthropic dollars were invested in racial equity and justice in education between 2019 and 2021. Endowments are a long-term investment approach to change that. Grantees have told us what endowments could mean to them: a stable financial state, no longer dependent on the whims of philanthropy, and the freedom to plan for the long term. We endow museums, universities and hospitals, but we do not endow the infrastructure needed to keep our democracy working and advance racial justice, i.e., the grantees doing the work. It’s time to ask why that is, and what it would look like if that status quo were to change.

People read on the internet, but they aren't particularly patient about it. That's why it's important to break down longer, more complex sentences. Example: "Our nonprofit provides resources, advocates for change, and fosters community development for underrepresented youth, low-income families, and local small businesses." Hard to skim. Too many lists. My brain gave up in the middle, to be honest. Consider trying something like this example instead. (But, you know. One that you took more than 3 minutes to write): — We serve underrepresented youth, low-income families, and local small businesses. Providing resources: Educational workshops and scholarships Advocates for change: Lobbying for educational funding Community development: Small business grants and neighborhood revitalization projects — What does your brain do when the info is presented this way?
