** Honoring MLK by Facilitating Racial Healing
------------------------------------------------------------

Monday, January 16, is Martin Luther King Jr. Day—a national day of service that honors Dr. King’s life and legacy of racial justice activism. But did you know that the following day is the National Day of Racial Healing? Hosted by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, this observance emphasizes that racial healing is central to racial equity and serves as “an opportunity to bring ALL people together in their common humanity and inspire collective action to create a more just and equitable world.” To honor the day, we encourage you to check out Kellogg’s suite of action kits ([link removed]) , which detail the many ways in which you can work to build empathy and understanding at home, at work, and throughout your community.

“In the future of philanthropy there will be a clear understanding that healthy, balanced nonprofit (and foundation) leaders are able to create better outcomes for communities. Foundations will invest in long-term relationships with nonprofit leaders so that grantees trust that they can take risks and make big bets.” [more] ([link removed])
Trista Harris, FutureGood

“Catchafire hosted a session at the Council of Michigan Foundation’s 50th Annual Conference where nonprofits, grantmakers, and donors… took a deep dive into what it means to commit to creating a self-determined nonprofit community. We uncovered how we see our neighbors who are invested in bringing change and created this list [‘50 Ways to Honor and Love Our Nonprofit Neighbor.’]” [more] ([link removed])
Latesha Kelly, Catchafire

“The Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy conducted the Digital for Good: A Global Study on Emerging Ways of Giving to explore the emerging vehicles of philanthropy, such as crowdfunding, online giving, mobile giving, workplace giving, online volunteering, and social impact initiatives.” [more] ([link removed])

“Those familiar with what it takes to truly advance racial justice within a foundation, know that grantmaking is just the tip of the iceberg. For long-term, transformative change to occur, an organization must connect what it supports outside its four walls with the work happening within them.” [more] ([link removed])
Charmaine Mercer, The William & Flora Hewlett Foundation
