“We’ve been investing in new approaches to fostering a more diverse cadre of leaders for the climate movement. This includes building a network of climate leaders who are already working in communities on a range of other issues.” [more] ([link removed])
Mariella Puerto, Barr Foundation

“As a country, we need to make the critical connection between the lack of teaching Black and marginalized groups’ histories and the lack of understanding of these histories and their significance for racial identity. And we must recognize the potential outcomes of teaching those histories, especially in producing children and adults who are more racially aware and informed, behave in more equitable ways, and are better future civic leaders and decision-makers.” [more] ([link removed])
Erica Licht and Khalil Gibran Muhammad, the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project, for Learning for Justice

“CDP’s role is not to adjudicate the [Israeli-Palestinian] crisis but to guide funders on how to support the humanitarian crisis that has existed for a long time in the region. It has been intensified by the atrocities of war and terrorism during the weekend of Oct. 7 and in the days since. … Those needs in Gaza are escalating rapidly to catastrophic proportions, and there will be both massive humanitarian and long-term recovery needs for many years.” [more] ([link removed])
The Center for Disaster Philanthropy

“[According to the 2023 Report on Private Philanthropy: Giving and Investment Trends within Private Foundations by Foundation Source], The largest percentage of 2022 grant dollars, 20.3% or $175 million, went to charities without NTEE codes, a system used by the IRS and the National Center for Charitable Statistics to classify grants and grant recipients. This helps illuminate a growing blind spot in the philanthropic sector as funders, nonprofits, industry leaders, regulators, and other key influencers seek to understand giving trends and obstacles.” [more] ([link removed])
