“Organizers have noted that philanthropy’s work must go beyond funding abortion and must take “a broader approach to reproductive justice,” according to the Women’s Funding Network. This entails funding abortion access, birth justice, climate and economic justice, as well as freedom from state violence.” [more] ([link removed])
Women’s Funding Network

“We exist in a society that devalues disabled people by perpetuating the false notion that only certain bodies and minds are worthy. ... It’s clear that if the philanthropic sector is to advance social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion, then it must not only recognize that disability is a key element in its work, but also acknowledge that ableism is a core barrier to it.” [more] ([link removed])
“How Ableism Shows Up in Philanthropy,” Disability & Philanthropy Forum

“At the very least, funders can validate LGBTQ+ youth’s experiences by including their perspectives in funding decisions and by responding through grantmaking to the needs that youth identify as key to their success. And, while it’s important to continue supporting innovative school-based interventions, it is past due time to question a siloed view of “ed funding” to counter the rise of a growing anti-democratic school politics.” [more] ([link removed])
Jimmy Simpson, Jr. and Jennifer deForest, YouthTruth, for Center for Effective Philanthropy
“Today, more people are affected by humanitarian crises than at any point in recorded history. Conflicts drive 80% of all humanitarian needs globally. Yet in 2019, only 4% of philanthropy’s $352 million in giving for disasters went to address humanitarian needs in these settings. CHEs are vastly underfunded, relative to other disasters.” [more] ([link removed])
