FIRST PROJECT AIMS In Europe, the importance of the #thirdsector is increasingly being acknowledged, from various points of view, however, there is still room for improvement. In this context, the FIRST project aims to: - overcome limitations by intervening in the criticalities of one of the third sector representatives; - Foundations to open a reflection on the effectiveness of all nonprofit organizations and relevant policies on a national and international level; - to boost foundations role as a promoter of common values; civic engagement and participation;

Thank you Ubele Initiative for convening a community conversation on Monday about the racist and Islamophobic violence that has threatened the safety and dignity of our communities. The call for more and sustained investment in grassroots and community-based organisations echoes messages set out in https://lnkd.in/e94-skQ3 ? But it is a message that still needs to be more widely understood and responded to.?Research shows that most funders see racial justice work as ‘too risky’; many shy away from supporting work on root causes; and there is very limited long-term commitment to substantive racial justice strategies or to grass-roots community organising:?'Funding Justice 2 analysed over ￡950 million worth of grants. It found that just 5.7% of UK foundation giving in 2021/22 went towards work to tackle injustice?[and] 0.3% …. went towards building people power through organising.?This is despite growing recognition that “community organising and local power building is simultaneously one of the best and one of the most under-resourced mechanisms we have to shift power to and secure just outcomes for (and with) communities”.’?(Baring, E. and Cracknell, J. (2023) Funding Justice: An analysis of social justice grantmaking in the UK, 2021-2022, Civic Power Fund.) ? There is also a risk in these moments that too many individual funders turn to their grantees to ask what would be most helpful, at a time when they are responding to crisis. We encourage funders to tap into wider conversations: ?

Okay. Enough. The elefante is in the room and we're addressing it. You in leadership with the power to do something about this you know who you are. The wage gap for Latino workers in Philadelphia, especially in nonprofits, is stark. Latinas earn just 54 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men. It's time for leadership to address this disparity by tackling the root causes of occupational segregation and discrimination. Economic equity and community empowerment depend on closing this gap.

This discussion of evidence in decision making was eye-opening for me! You can now view it at the link below. We discussed: What is evidence? How do we challenge the traditional preference for statistical data to also include other forms of information? What do we do in the absence of good information, or, alternatively, when and how do we get beyond "admiring the problem" to stop data collection and act? What are strategies for dealing with "fact resistance" and data denial?

Today, learn more about Indigenous representation in the philanthropic sector with data from our #2022DAPP Report. - https://lnkd.in/eAW3Xj3j It's important to recognize that the term “Indigenous” as it's used here doesn't encapsulate all Indigenous Peoples and/or all facets of Indigenous identities. In this snapshot, the data specifically pertains to Indigenous Peoples residing in what is currently known as the United States. For further exploration - Last week, our partner Native Americans in Philanthropy shared their second Indigenous Philanthropic Professionals (IPP) Report as a supplement to the DAPP report, with particular emphasis on Indigenous professionals in the sector. - https://lnkd.in/eQzZn2xi There are only two more weeks left to sign your foundation up for the #2024DAPP! - https://lnkd.in/eQRBZf4B
