Check out this report examining philanthropic investment into organizations primarily serving women and girls of color. Orgs led by and for BIPOC women and girls are severely underfunded. This is a call to action. We can change this. I'm beyond honored to be working on the 3rd iteration of the Pocket Change report alongside dynamic leaders who serve Black & Brown women & birthing people. #BeTheChange

In the midst of the 2020 racial reckoning, Lisa Donahue sought out Fierce Allies, a network of justice, equity, decolonization, and intersectionality stewards, for support in decolonizing the nature connection field—a field that has long harmed Indigenous communities through the appropriation of #IndigenousLifeways. J. Miakoda Taylor of Fierce Allies guided Donahue through their Reckoning and Reparations practicum, a reparations preparedness training that calls on participants to identify who and how they have harmed and to leverage their power to offer actionable healing and restoration to those communities. Taylor and Donahue then tailored the practicum for the Nature Connection Network, where Donahue and Lucia Colombaro are members of the Leadership Circle. The Circle declared 2022 their “Transformational Year,” which saw the launch of public acknowledgements of harm, online community forums, and, under Colombaro’s leadership, CoDE—a tool allowing network members to connect with racial equity training opportunities.

WMM Member Vivian Long is committed to ensuring the Long Family Foundation (LFF)'s grantmaking practices evolve in ways that will most positively impact their grantee partners. Whether they are funding pathways towards sustained sobriety for women, supporting Christians considering abortion, or tackling gender-based violence and its resulting traumas, LFF approaches the work through two key values: a commitment to collective action and an understanding that the work is complex and multifaceted. Vivian shares, "I encourage others who are exploring a bold investment in women and girls to build trusted, mutual relationships with nonprofit leaders and fellow funders sharing diverse opinions, lived experiences, and knowledge, and to lean into the joy that comes from learning and working together."

Women remain underrepresented in leadership roles within both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. The "Leading Ladies'' initiative was formed to provide a supportive network for high-achieving women leading healthcare nonprofits. Learn about how solidarity among women leaders plays a key part in overcoming both professional and personal challenges they face in the nonprofit sector, and how maintaining these values could drive organizational growth: https://hubs.la/Q02FJlgM0

Can philanthropy competitions be equitable? 🤔 YES 🙌 We believe we provide a rare opportunity for organizations, particularly those with proximate or BIPOC—Black, Indigenous, and people of color—leadership, to compete based on their potential for impact rather than access to a funder’s network.
