MSC provides values-aligned infrastructure for BIPOC and women-led organizations.
About us
MSC provides values-aligned infrastructure for BIPOC and women-led organizations at the intersection of racial inequity and environmental justice. We put love at the center and embody the values and spirit of our partners. Our mission is to provide values aligned, holistic intermediary services enabling access to crucial infrastructure and thought partnership for BIPOC, women, and LGBTQIA movement leaders, activists, and communities challenging intersectional issues of systemic racism, rampant environmental destruction, and crippling economic exploitation. We are unique in that we do not operate as a singular organization but as a collective ecosystem incubating and accelerating the work of our partner projects, which speaks to our values of radical interdependence and love. Our vision is of a Just Transition from a world of domination, extraction, and violence — where the few live at the expense of the many — to a world of interdependence, liberation, and resilience — where the many govern for the benefit of all. We understand that a Just Transition is only possible when the voices of BIPOC, women, and GNC leaders are honored, celebrated, and amplified, not merely tolerated.

Latine people make up 18% of the U.S. population, but are only represented in 5% of nonprofit employees, with even smaller percentages serving as foundation trustees or CEOs. Andrea Cota Avila immigrated from Mexico to a mostly white community in Michigan, attended a mostly white university, and now finds herself a rare Latina woman in the fundraising space. Avila writes of the strong sense of support and generosity present in Latine communities, and offers suggestions for including more Latine people in the fundraising space.

Immigrants in the U.S. often lack fact-based, up-to-date local news about their lives and communities in their native languages. A whopping 150+ ethnic media outlets closed during the pandemic; without access to quality reporting, dis- and misinformation start to run rampant. Click below to read more about nonprofit newsrooms working to fill this gap, and how grant makers can support them. https://lnkd.in/eETyQ8Fi
