Foundations have been responding to the recent racist violence. In today's blog, ACF's head of practice Jim Cooke explores the immediate actions ACF members have taken, including: ✅ Taking an active stance ✅ Checking in with grantees/partners ✅ Meeting urgent funding needs ✅ Having a flexible and trust-based approach to funding ✅ Reaffirming existing commitments to long-term racial justice funding ✅ Supporting their own staff. #Foundations also recognise that much more work will be needed in the months and years ahead to counter the riots’ root causes and pursue a more just and equitable society. We will share more next week about how foundations can respond in the longer term.
