Today is #NativeNonprofitDay and we’re chiming in to help raise awareness of the importance of investing in Native-led nonprofits, that have the solutions to the challenges that Native communities are facing. Native-led nonprofits are systemically underfunded. According to a report from the Center for Effective Philanthropy, 67% of foundation leaders say they provide little or no funding to organizations serving #Native communities. It's time to change this! Learn how to support the Native-led nonprofit sector today and every day via Native Ways Federation. #GiveNative #SupportNativeLed

The Charitable Foundation believes that using all the tools available to us is the best way to help build a community where everyone can thrive. The most visible tools a community foundation can use to achieve those things are its grant and scholarship programs, initiatives and partnerships, advocacy and communications. But community foundations have another tool at our disposal for change-making. One that is less visible, but extremely powerful: invested assets. Learn more ⬇ about how our invested assets can be a powerful tool for good from our Chief Investment and Financial Officer Michael Wilson.

Americans are a generous people, donating billions of dollars every year to sustain a vibrant independent nonprofit sector. But as #wealth has concentrated in fewer hands over the last forty years, philanthropy has become less democratic. Giving by low- and middle-income donors has declined while the ultra-wealthy have come to dominate philanthropy in America. The result has been less money getting to the causes that desperately need it. Why does this happen? Because wealthy donors are more likely to give through intermediaries like private foundations, which are required to pay out just 5% of their assets each year, and donor-advised funds (DAFs), which have no payout requirements. This stifles the flow of funds to charities on the ground, preventing them from delivering their unique good.
