“Philanthropy’s goal should not be survival or cooperation, but to help foster justice. Foundations do that by funding work and making space for relationships that lift our human rights and dignity, not strip them. That is the bottom floor, the starting line. A commitment to anything less these days is more than just a lost opportunity to change the world. It’s a potential death sentence for those who don’t have the power and influence to stop it.” [more] ([link removed])
CHANGE Philanthropy Coalition Member Statement on Philanthropic Pluralism

“As the Supreme Court deliberates two major cases challenging affirmative action at colleges, foundations and charities are getting ready for a widespread ripple effect that could transform their work to advance racial diversity.” [more] ([link removed])
Alex Daniels, The Chronicle of Philanthropy

“The philanthropic evaluation process also reinforces the underlying tenets of capitalism: Those who pay get a say—or at least a bigger one. In such a system, those who receive money may have to operate as supplicants with little capacity to push back against assumptions that don’t align with their work or could be outright harmful.” [more] ([link removed])
Cynthia Greenlee, Chandler Foundation

“Clearly, [MacKenzie] Scott embodies one of the core qualities of a trust-based leader in her desire to ‘seed’ power by ‘ceding power.’ This is consistent with trust-based philanthropy’s fundamental belief that advancing an equitable and inclusive society requires philanthropy to give up and share power with the communities who bear the brunt of inequities. Despite some of these shared values, there are some key differences in the ‘how’ of it all. Here are some distinctions where Scott’s approach diverges from a holistically trust-based approach.” [more] ([link removed])
