Important reading piece on supporting the #ecosystem of #civilsociety :” In short, the importance of ecosystems – civil society sectors and movements – must not be overlooked in efforts to shift power. The best way to use money to achieve social change is to put grantees, their knowledge, and their strategic vision at the heart of things. Instead of identifying one grantee, support many; instead of imposing tricky power dynamics on the local level, support and strength whole sectors.”👇

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for equality. Juneteenth, observed on June 19th, 1865, is a powerful reminder of the strength and determination within marginalized communities. Our Afghan community understands the importance of this day, coming forth as a community that shares a rich history of resilience and a quest for freedom. Highlighting events like Juneteenth is crucial as it reminds us of the progress we have made and the work that still lies ahead. By spotlighting these significant moments in history, we recognize the injustices that have been overcome and those that persist today. It is a call to action for continued solidarity, understanding, and advocacy. As we celebrate Juneteenth, we encourage reflection on the importance of supporting and uplifting all marginalized communities,. Our collective commitment to justice and equality paves the way for a more inclusive and compassionate society. Together, we can ensure that every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to live freely and with dignity. With love, AOA #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Resilience #AfghanRefugees #CommunitySupport #CulturalHeritage #Solidarity #JusticeForAll #Unity #Nonprofits #OregonNonprofit

Cultural Survival shares several ways allies can #decolonize our Thanksgiving celebrations: https://bit.ly/40QTnEq

🚨 Research note of the WEEK! 🚨 Faith-based Fundraising and Engagement in Post-Communist Czech Republic 📄 In the Czech Republic, religiosity is decreasing, and distrust in church institutions is on the rise. Despite this, volunteerism and revenue have consistently increased for Caritas Czech Republic’s primary fundraising initiative. This study explores religiosity and trust in the church in the context of fundraising and volunteerism for faith-based organizations in post-communist Czech Republic. Caritas Czech Republic’s door-to-door Three Kings Collection (TKC) fundraiser communicates a religious message yet has increased volunteerism and revenues annually. One reason for success may be that Czech society can distinguish between institutional church distrust and the social services Caritas provides. For Caritas, fundraising is part of a larger mission to connect society. ✒Author(s): Jakub Dostál - College of Polytechnics, Jihlava | Vladimír Hyánek – Masaryk University 📝 The Research note is written by Peter Stemp from La Salle Foundation. 🔔 More research notes!

🌍 Exploring the wisdom of Desmond Tutu and the essence of Ubuntu in co-operatives and non-profit strategy. 🤝 Our humanity is deeply intertwined, and Tutu's words resonate with the philosophy that our true selves emerge through relationships. In the realm of communal living, shared experiences, and mutual support, Tutu underscores the significance of acknowledging our interdependence. 🌱 This resonates strongly in movements for justice and equality, as seen in South Africa's struggle against apartheid. As I delve into movement building and address power imbalances, the quest for knowledge intensifies. 💡 People-powered work is at the core, and I'm curious: How do you maintain energy and foster sustainable structures in your endeavors? Let's exchange insights! 🚀 #UbuntuPhilosophy #MovementBuilding #SocialJustice #CollaborationInAction

A question for #HigherEd #philanthropy folks as we begin 2024: How much pressure are you feeling to talk with #donors about your institution’s position on broad, divisive issues? There have been plenty recently, like the war in Gaza, the rise of antisemitism, the congressional hearing late last year that’s continuing to reverberate across the sector, immigration reform, etc. And this year’s presidential election will likely bring more. I’m curious to know how frequently donors are bringing up these topics in giving conversations at a broad range of colleges and universities, as well as how much your institutions might be giving you guardrails or even curtailing certain giving efforts. — At #Weiswood Strategies, we partner with colleges, universities, and other nonprofits on communications strategies that increase contributions and deepen donor relationships.
