"If we all do something, no matter how big or how small, to benefit Unidos, it will benefit all of us, and benefit our communities." An excerpt from "Haz Algo," a message we're excited to share from Dr. Joe Betancourt, Chair of Unidos in Power. Key Highlights from the Message: - The role of Latinos in fueling Massachusetts' growth. - The need for better Latino political representation and influence. - Significant strides made by Unidos in Power in the past year. - The establishment of regional teams and advocacy platforms. Dr. Betancourt's message emphasizes the power of engagement and unity. The call to action is clear – "haz algo" (do something). Every effort, big or small, contributes to the greater empowerment of our community. Read the full message 👉 https://lnkd.in/e95a74-y

In 2022, the Rozsa Foundation received feedback from our community suggesting that as a private foundation, we could play a significant role in advocating for increased government support for the arts sector. This resonated with our values and vision, leading us to allocate more resources to arts advocacy. We've been active in advocacy at all levels of government, from local to federal. We've joined initiatives like the Nonprofit Vote and the Canadian Arts Coalition, and we've invested in our own knowledge through professional development programs. Recently, there have been positive steps in Alberta, with the government announcing increases in funding for the arts. This is encouraging news. Moving forward, we plan to stay connected with relevant government ministries and continue advocating for the arts sector.

What are your public policy priorities? Let your voice be heard! In case you missed out on what the 'Dialogue' series is, it is where we take a thought-provoking question or idea from our latest newsletter article and toss it out to our community, asking: 'What's your take? We invite you to dive in however you like! Share your thoughts by commenting, sending messages, recording audio clips, or emailing us —whatever suits you. 'Dialogue' is about your perspective on topics that impact the community. Your thoughts are the heartbeat of this series, so we encourage you to engage! . . . #rozsafoundation #artadvocacy #dialogue #art #artists #yycarts #alberta

A really well done study. One major takeaway for any of us involved in evaluating grants or distributing grant money is the disproportionately high number of large budget organizations receiving the bulk of grants funding. This seems to be a recurring theme in other studies and we need to do better in getting to smaller and BIPOC organizations that are in need. #artsfunding #grants

"...[Ron Hantz'] own group was inspired by the Poor People’s Development Foundation, which emerged out of the Poor People’s Campaign led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Hantz noted that the foundation had sought to build a national cooperative movement for Black and Indigenous people." "The National Association of Black Cooperators’ first meeting was in October 2022, when about 35 Black co-op members came together at an initial organizing meeting in Pittsburgh. The group developed the following mission: "Build a Black solidarity economy through: * Grounding ourselves in collective principles and cultural practices * Sustaining cooperative business development * Advancing political education and a policy agenda * Exchanging knowledge * Engaging in intentional community-building.""

The collective prosperity of America depends on guaranteeing dignity, health, and economic security for all. This principle is inextricably linked to the economic well-being of members of multifaceted communities of color who compose the growing majority of our nation. Join our Founder and #TheHighlandProject Leader, Rhonda Broussard, on Wednesday, March 20 for a webinar on, "Innovative Models to Disrupt the Racial Wealth Gap and Invest in Black Women Leadership." Asset Funders Network’s Realizing Economic Justice (REJ) Funder Primer affirms that asset building philanthropy is at a critical inflection point. No longer willing to operate at the edges of the status quo, many philanthropic leaders and organizations seek to be part of transformational, systems-level change. We must continue to move from words to action and align financial investments to our commitments.
