More ProPublica reporting on the blend of #charities and #politics. Ziklag (legal name Usatransform EIN: 82-4819179) is a public charity and “private, confidential, invitation-only community of high-net-worth Christian families.” Its goals are to fund election integrity groups, use churches to get out the vote, and galvanize voters on "issues of “parental rights” and opposition to transgender rights and policies supporting health care for trans people." https://lnkd.in/ehhqKHWb

"Foundations allocated less than 4 cents per $100 of their total giving to U.S. trans communities and issues." -- 2021 Tracking Report: LGBTQ Grantmaking by U.S. Foundations It's been 3 years. What do you think has changed since then? The truth is, I don't know for sure, but I highly speculate that these 4 cents have not increased significantly, if at all. Point of Pride is unique in that our largest fundraiser each year comes directly from the community we serve. In just 2 years, we've seen over 70,000 individuals from the trans, nonbinary, gender-diverse communities, and our allies make donations, averaging $44 each. This community-driven funding constitutes a significant portion of our annual budget, supporting our 5 direct-service programs. I'm grateful for any person, company, or foundation that recognizes life-saving gender-affirming care as a fundamental right for all trans and nonbinary people. As we move into the second half of 2024, I hope to see this support grow rather than shrink, despite the challenging political climate surrounding transgender healthcare and access rights.

Native Led and Native Controlled are two different things. It's not enough to be Native Led. We must control the organizations that serve and represent our communities. Control means Native organizations with 100 percent Native Boards of Directors. #native #philanthropy #leadership #tribal #nativecontrol
