Grace Nicolette, Center for Effective Philanthropy

"Racial justice and fighting climate change are inextricably entwined. [...] We call on the biggest climate funders who have not yet made a decision on the pledge to step up, commit to transparency, and increase their investments in BIPOC communities. If that happens, we can look forward to seeing essential new dollars flowing to the groups most invested in building the political will to save our society and our planet.” [more] ([link removed])
Crystal Haling and Angie Chen, The Libra Foundation, on Center for Effective Philanthropy

“The longest journey in philanthropy is from the conversation to the writing of checks.

Edgar Villanueva, Decolonizing Wealth Project and Liberated Capital, and Vanessa Daniel, Groundswell Fund, in The Chronicle of Philanthropy
