** Investing in Native Communities
------------------------------------------------------------

On average, approximately 0.4 percent of grant dollars are directed to Native American communities each year. In honor of Indigenous People’s Day on Monday, October 10, we encourage you to explore Investing in Native Communities ([link removed]) , a collaboration between Native Americans in Philanthropy and Candid. Launched in September 2019, this free resource provides funding data, research, and other materials designed to help funders to best support Native communities.

“A lack of available information has enabled this [disparity] as funders often don’t know what is being funded, how to effectively engage with Native stakeholders to create impact, and the history that has contributed to the unique challenges Native communities face today,” Edgar Villanueva, chair of Native Americans in Philanthropy’s board, said in a press release. “This website is an important tool to begin to fill this knowledge gap and drive more attention and investment to Native communities.”

“A social justice framework for systems change planning enables any organization to pursue systems change. It also makes an inherent argument for why every nonprofit should: Short of systems change, social justice leaders may alleviate the symptoms of a social problem, but they may also perpetuate it by leaving an unjust system intact.”[more] ([link removed])
Alison Badgett, From Charity to Change, for Stanford Social Innovation Review

“Disaster grantmaking can play a crucial role in creating meaningful and successful recovery for everyone affected by a disaster, not just the few who can afford it.” [more] ([link removed])
Tanya Gulliver-Garcia and Yna Moore, Center for Disaster Philanthropy, for the Center for Effective Philanthropy

“A 2021 study shows that a mere 3.6% of nonprofit funding goes to organizations led by people of color. … In particular, many grassroots organizations led by or serving members of the Latinx community often struggle to find funding in today’s nonprofit landscape. Built on a devotion to culture and community, these nonprofits play an invaluable role in fostering the growth, health, and vibrancy of the Latinx community.” [more] ([link removed])

“[A]bleism is at the heart of our current rush to ‘get back to normal,’ often leaving behind disabled people (such as people with ‘underlying conditions,’ and immunocompromised people) who need us to maintain truly equal hybrid work places, conferences, and safe environments for their very survival.” [more] ([link removed])
