If you are looking for ways to help the people of Puerto Rico in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Fiona, NPR ([link removed]) and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy ([link removed]) (CDP) each have lists of organizations that are providing aid. And, as CDP observed in a recent post for PEAK ([link removed]) , disasters are not a moment in time, they are a process. Long-term recovery efforts are “about addressing sources of inequitable and unjust, and individuals and families being able to rebound from their losses and sustain their physical, social, economic, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.”

“The past three years of seemingly unending crises have taken their toll on all of us – but have also proved fertile ground for feminist funders to reimagine the way philanthropy can work. A chance to connect with our core, to centre our values, and to foreground solidarity over structure, partnership over process. A chance to move beyond an organisational approach to a collective organising strategy.” [more] ([link removed])
Jen Bokoff, Disability Rights Fund, and Rosa Bransky, Purposeful, for Alliance

“[T]he current configuration of capacity building is inadequate. What if capacity building efforts were more honest about structural inequities? What if they were structured around how to grow collective power and dismantle barriers? What if nonprofit organizations could ask how funders and intermediaries should change to be better partners?” [more] ([link removed])
Marcus Littles, Frontline Solutions, for Nonprofit Quarterly

“Nearly all of the $471 million donated each year to charity goes to just 5 percent of all nonprofits, leaving 95 percent of the sector overlooked and underinvested. In the U.S., communities of color receive just 8 percent of philanthropy. Black charitable giving plays an important role in diversifying philanthropy—a sector that has historically concentrated power among very wealthy, mostly white, men.” [more] ([link removed])
