** Community Conversation | Racial Equity in Grantmaking Practice
------------------------------------------------------------

As we have collectively watched the murder of George Floyd by police and the resulting uprising, we see that many communities are grappling with the ways in which white supremacy and systemic racism have shaped the world we live in.

On June 17, we invite members to join us for an open forum. We are here for you to hold space, process, and share all the ways we can support and care for ourselves, our peers, our grantee partners, and our communities in this moment.

“In the nine decades I have lived, I have never seen a crisis as urgent and grave as the crisis facing our nation today. Something has changed this time. The African American community has reached its limit. We have come to the point where enough is enough.” [more] ([link removed])
– Dr. Clarence B. Jones, Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice, University of San Francisco

“When will we finally be honest with ourselves? This isn’t about how someone protests, or whether they transgressed, or any excuse we can possibly dream of to excuse our inhumanity and push away the discomfort. This is about skin. This is about belonging. This is about who gets to live truly free in America, and even more tragically, about who simply gets to live.” [more] ([link removed])
– Grant Oliphant, The Heinz Endowments

“White people must step up and take action, and hold each other accountable. It is our responsibility to examine how we are complicit in the spreading of this virus of racism, and how we benefit from it every day. Silence is complicity.” [more] ([link removed])
– Nick Donohue, Nellie Mae Education Foundation

“During a crisis, it can be easy to fall back on habits of white supremacy and forget the hard work we’ve done to cultivate different ways of being. So what are some antidotes, alternative mindsets, and practices we can center right now?” [more] ([link removed])
– Kad Smith, Compass Point

“Understand what it means to move from racial equity to racial justice funding strategies [and] how to align operational practices to both reduce racial inequity and advance racial justice...” [more] ([link removed])
– Rinku Sen and Lori Villarosa, Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity (PRE)
