Celebrating Juneteenth: Honoring Freedom and Empowering Change ?? Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history that marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. This day reminds us of the enduring strength, resilience, and contributions of the African American community. Today and every day, let's support these organizations and their mission to build a brighter future. Together, we can honor the legacy of Juneteenth and continue the fight for equality and justice. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #AfricanAmericanNonprofits #SocialJustice #CommunityEmpowerment As we celebrate, let’s also shine a light on the incredible work of African American nonprofits.

Communities of color understand the enduring impact of colonization, which continues to present itself to this day. There’s a growing call for solidarity between Black and Indigenous peoples, rooted in the shared historical injustices inflicted upon each of our ancestors. Reparations are one key solution. Indigenous and Black reparations cannot be mutually exclusive. They must be crafted and achieved together to ensure that systemic change is equitable and achievable for everyone involved. In celebration of the liberation of Juneteenth, let’s come together to discuss the next steps regarding reparations and the role of philanthropy in this endeavor. Whether you're new to this conversation or deeply engaged in its nuances, we invite you to stand with us in solidarity as we center the power of each community respectively and the sheer force of both combined. In a celebration of solidarity and liberation, June’s session shares this platform with our partners @ABFE. ABFE is central to a movement of philanthropic entities, donors, and nonprofits to improve outcomes for Black communities and the country. Their mission has prioritized Black communities through their professional development and technical assistance, and they are an unwavering voice highlighting the urgency of diversity, equity, and inclusion in philanthropy. Tune in for our upcoming “Member Education Sessions: Regarding Reparations” on June 18 at 1 PM ET.

?? Kicking Off Hispanic Heritage Month! ?? As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we must also confront the inequities faced by Latino communities in philanthropy. Despite making up nearly 19% of the U.S. population, Latino organizations receive less than 1% of philanthropic funding. This needs to change. The recent Alliance Magazine article highlights a powerful call from U.S. Latino organizations, urging philanthropy to step up and increase investments in Latino-led initiatives. Latino communities are critical drivers of social, economic, and cultural progress, and it's time for philanthropy to recognize and support this potential with intentional, long-term funding. We believe in supporting movements led by marginalized communities, and that includes our Latino partners working tirelessly for justice. Hispanic Heritage Month is a perfect time to reflect on the power of Latino leadership and the importance of equitable funding. We encourage funders to rise to the challenge and invest in building a just and inclusive future for all. ?? Learn more https://bit.ly/3MK5NaG
