Our latest research at Shiva Foundation, conducted in collaboration with Wilberforce Institute and West Midlands Anti-Slavery Network, highlights the critical need to integrate cultural competency into support services for modern slavery survivors. This work was made possible through funding from Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre and Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). By building trust and making systems more accessible, we can develop key strategies to more effectively combat exploitation. This article offers valuable insights into the need for enhanced approaches to tackle this global issue, providing essential strategies to strengthen our responses. Discover how these strategies can lead to more effective solutions 👇   🔗 https://lnkd.in/d2wUTTdE

The Trust for Civic Life and $8 million to fund civic participation in rural communities are examples of what philanthropy can accomplish when funders work together. That was the goal when Stephen Heinz, president of Rockefeller Brothers Fund, asked Carnegie Corporation of New York to join a funder collaborative a year ago, resulting in an early commitment of $3.5 million from the foundation. Today the collaborative has 15 funders. The Trust’s work is grounded in research that was funded by philanthropy and conducted by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Its report titled "Our Common Purpose" made a strong impression. It provides pragmatic, nonpartisan approaches to countering mistrust and division in our society. A second round of grants to support civic entrepreneurs is planned for later this year, and if all goes as planned, the collaborative will invest $50 million over the next five years. https://lnkd.in/ebyPnCVt

While we often think of community as the people in our immediate surroundings, it isn't limited to what's immediately visible. Sometimes finding harmony in life means taking a bird's eye view. Learn more in our Instaread on THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED. https://lnkd.in/gZM7uhu6
