Across PWF’s nine jurisdictions, there have been both significant steps forward and troubling steps back in the fight to catalyze a transformative approach to justice that is community-led, restorative, and racially just. The ebb and flow may slow us down. It may cause us to regroup. But it doesn’t stop our march onward. #Philanthropy #CommunityInvestment #Community #RestorativeJustice #TransformativeJustice

I was on Global National News this past Friday, talking about wealth redistribution and wealth taxes. See the link in the post below!

For Nonprofit Quarterly, Kavon Ward and Hannah Green of Where Is My Land published “Where Is My Land? The Struggle for Black Land Recovery”. Inside, Where Is My Land discuss their work using advocacy and legislation to return stolen land back to Black families. “By 1910 the amount of land owned by Black Americans was as high as 19 million acres, or about 14 percent of all titled land. By 1997, however, Black Americans owned only 1.3 percent of all titled land, a 90 percent decline. The loss has been conservatively estimated at $326 billion, reinforcing the nation’s enormous racial wealth gap.” While they have secured wins for folks like the Bruce Family of Manhattan Beach, other families face serious obstacles when it comes to receiving reparatory justice for stolen property. In this article, Where Is My Land unpack the history of Black land loss, efforts toward reparations as well as resistance, and also opportunities to resource this powerful movement. #LVxMP https://lnkd.in/g_hkn-JP

What a great organization helping another great organization

Celebrating Black Philanthropy Month: A Call to Action August is Black Philanthropy Month, a time to honor and elevate Black philanthropy throughout history and today. It's a moment to recognize the impact of giving within Black communities and explore meaningful ways to support causes that make a difference. I might be biased, but Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS)/USA is a powerful way to celebrate and contribute! JRS is dedicated to serving refugees and displaced people globally, with a strong focus on Africa. Programs provide emergency assistance, healthcare, mental health and psychosocial support services, education, and livelihoods training to those in need, embodying the spirit of compassionate and impactful philanthropy. Here’s how supporting JRS aligns with the goals of Black Philanthropy Month: ♥ Global Impact: JRS’s work directly benefits communities in 58 countries by providing essential services and support to those displaced by conflict and crisis. ♥ Empowerment Through Education: JRS educational programs offer refugee children and adults a lifeline, giving them the tools to rebuild their lives and create brighter futures. ♥ Commitment to Human Dignity: JRS’s approach is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves respect and a chance to thrive, reflecting the values of equity and justice central to Black philanthropy. Let’s celebrate by making a meaningful impact by supporting JRS’s initiatives in Africa through the gift of education, advocacy, volunteering, or spreading the word about JRS’s impactful work. https://lnkd.in/ehcVnig3

Every quarter, Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation's team works together to distill the most impactful stories to share with our community. Sometimes we have so much content that the website can barely keep up. When I first started in the nonprofit sector as a storyteller, the credo was "no one cares about the sausage making." With so many places to contribute your resources and a greater desire to see behind the curtain, we have a new challenge as nonprofit communications experts. The sector and our stakeholders want more than a report out on numbers and outcomes. Some things our stakeholders want to undertand include: • *how* and *why* we make the choices we make, and how we continue to learn and adapt to do things better (see the scholarships story by Dana Crary, TTCF Community Impact Manager), • the intentional partnerships that help funders realize our values statements instead of checking DEI boxes for PR (see the Washoe grant story), and • strategies that help donors make the most of every dollar for greater impact in the places that they care about (see the Philanthropies section and our $10 million matching grant). This impact report shares a lot more than all of that, and I am proud to be part of the team of staff, Board, partners, and donors who make this work possible and hold ourselves accountable to our community. Please enjoy. #communications #nonprofitcommunications #philanthropy #communityfoundation

The Church identifies key principles called "Catholic Social Teaching," which, in addition to the Church's moral teachings, guide Catholic Charities' response to those in need. Our Mission, Vision, Values, and Strategic Direction are shaped by these vital teachings. The seven themes of Catholic Social Teaching are: Life and Dignity of the Human Person; Call to Family, Community, and Participation; Rights and Responsibilities; Option for the Poor and Vulnerable; The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers; Solidarity; and Care for God's Creation.

From serving our country to serving our community. At Champion, we take building our community seriously. We have more than one veteran on staff who helps with our efforts. #supportchemobuddies #philanthropy #championpropertyinspection #evansvilleindiana #homeinspection #commercialinspection

Hey, current Texas A&M University - The Bush School of Government and Public Service students. There is a fantastic online course being offered this Fall that could help you whether you are studying policy or have already found the bright side and have joined our nonprofit management track. 😉 PSAA 689-602 Nonprofit Advocacy in the Policy Process helps students understand how nonprofits advocate to affect policy and implementation of programs. Best part is that you get to learn from Dr. Wynn Rosser, who currently serves as President & CEO of the T.L.L. Temple Foundation and has been working to bring broadband to East Texas, among many other things. (Admit I have a bias because I love the T.L.L. Temple staff. They are doing philanthropy about as well as it can be done.) Check out the class! #choosenonprofitcareers
