In our continuing series showcasing the heart of the @jlinfoundation, we look into our approach to philanthropy - one that's deeply rooted in love, respect, and empowerment of our grantees. "One thing that we want to practice is how to love our grantees in a very counter-cultural way... more bottoms up, more grantee-centered, more youth-centered.” -Lucy Yang, Jeremy Lin Foundation "When we had the initial conversation, we didn't have to pitch... we want to show the world how incredible our youth are and how we feel about them and who they are, and present them authentically for everything that they are, and I feel like we were able to do that." -Aaron, (South Asian Youth Action (SAYA) https://lnkd.in/gW8AJzZW 🌱 This philosophy isn't just about providing resources; it's about fostering a community where our youth and grantees feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. 🤝 Stay tuned as we continue to share more stories and insights into our journey 🔗 Find out more about our mission and how you can be a part of this journey - https://lnkd.in/d_Awg-8M
