This article brought to attention an important intersection between nonprofit advocacy and land ownership rights, a glaring issue that greatly affects Black and Indigenous communities in rural areas. The organizations looking to support positive outcomes in this field do so by providing resources to those who need them for direct material support and also broader community empowerment. Black Farmer Fund, for example, was a $1 million pilot fund that attracted over fifty applications and following that process later invested in eight farm and food businesses. These funds are irreplaceable tools that need to be further expanded upon and supported to help out the communities who need their support the most. #Finance #Nonprofit #Leadership #Justice
