Juneteenth derives its name from June 19, 1865, when U.S. General Gordon Granger informed the enslaved individuals of Galveston, Texas, that they were officially free. Two-and-a-half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Granger’s decree marked the end of slavery in Confederate states. Established in 2020, on the Juneteenth holiday, Black Resilience in Colorado Fund is more than a fund. It is a movement for change to address systematic racism and inequities that negatively impact Black communities throughout Colorado and beyond. Help us pave the path forward. With your support, BRIC can continue to provide resources to Colorado's Black-led and serving nonprofits and build Black communities now and in the future.

We should be clear that our movements and movement leaders are targets for right-wing disinformation, legislation, strategy, and violence. And those attacks are well-funded.

No shoes is a dress code I love. Putting socks and dress shoes on, being back on the road in Texas was recharging. Spending time with parishes and diocese leaders in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin and Waco planning strategies to enhance their impact on souls reignites my passion for why we support the Church.. and do what we do everyday. God has placed each of us in this sector at this particular time for a reason. Helping priests and parish leaders overcome the scarcity mindset that plagues religious organizations. Priests aren't necessarily discerned for fundraising and philanthropy. Parish budgets aren't usually able to support the skill set necessary to design, implement and analyze outreach strategies. Having to leave the comfort of home office dress code (yes never wearing socks or shoes is the best) and hit the airport, car rental facility, gas station beverage center and local groceries in hopes to encourage one parish to take one step forward for the future of their community is a blessing each of us have. Looking forward to some more windshield time soon in Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth. #catholicstewardship #growthmindset #onpurposeforthefuture

At Equal Justice USA we kept seeing the same problem 😣: grassroots community leaders struggling to secure funding 💰💵💲. We couldn't find a good resource, so we built🏗️ one. From scratch. It took so many months and required so much work, but the team persisted because only 7% of philanthropic dollars are targeted toward Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and POC communities. Introducing: Getting Grant Ready, a *FREE* resource customized for emerging grassroots organizations, aspiring grant writers in community-led, violence prevention movements, and midsize organizations seeking diverse funding opportunities. Please share widely! 🎉🎉🎉 https://lnkd.in/e-PwngUg
Cracks in the Foundation: Philanthropy’s Role in Reparations for Black People in the DMV details how the disparities in areas like education, income, employment and housing for Black residents in the District of Columbia, southern Maryland, and northern Virginia areas (commonly known as the DMV) are not random or natural occurrences but are a string of conscious choices that repeatedly harmed communities. Using publicly available quantitative and qualitative research, the report details how the great wealth that made local philanthropy possible harmed the region’s Black residents in four distinct sectors: media, housing, employment, and healthcare. It also provides a framework for foundations to not only understand their past, but how they may start acknowledging and addressing these harms with community residents.

Meet Anna! 👋 Anna Caldwell joined the Corliss & Solomon team in the Spring of 2021. She received her M.S. degree and B.S. degree in Accounting from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in May 2021 and 2019, respectively. Helping people has always been a significant focus in her life, whether via tutoring students in accounting or taking on the roles of president and captain of the women’s ultimate frisbee club at Charlotte. After briefly pursuing this passion by attending a police academy, she learned that law enforcement was not the way for her. She is proud to be able to achieve her goal of helping people by serving Nonprofits. #MeetTheTeam #CPAFirm
54. Feed My Starving Children | Volunteer to pack meals (fmsc.org): I walked to this place for volunteering and I found 95 percent of people they feed to be black. Blacks have natural resources that serves their interests and need, why even non-profits project racism: ; Supreme Court of the United States; Gravitas Plus: The race for Africa - YouTube; Darwin, Africa, and Genocide: The Horror of Scientific Racism - YouTube; I own hardworking traits and body why should churches hustle with me for 32 years for my talent, time, religion, stories, and others in collaboration and cooperation with two governments. I have been forced out of two jobs that I work 72 hrs. per week, and my meddled family begged. 55. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws(14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Civil Rights (1868) | National Archives). This clause protects every thing I have been fighting for 10 years to protect. FBI, CIA, Police, Courts, Department of Justice, and others are meant to protect this and enforce this.
🤝 We recently talked to Pastor Gabriel Dominguez, Associate Pastor at the Methodist Church in City of Waco, TX, in a podcast, where he shared how Faith & Blue events facilitate collaboration and trust between law enforcement and communities. Pastor Dominguez explained, "The events themselves help in two different ways. They either kick off new partnerships between local churches or nonprofits and law enforcement, or they reinforce ongoing collaborations. For us, it reinforced what we were already doing in the community." 🙌 He recalled a memorable moment during a flyer distribution for a local event: "We were knocking on doors in the projects, and I knew many people there. One guy, skeptical at first, saw an officer with me and asked, 'What is he doing here?' I assured him, 'He's with me, bro. We're good.' This man, who had only interacted with police negatively, ended up joining us." This story illustrates how events can break the ice and foster meaningful connections between law enforcement and community members, even in challenging areas. For those looking to enhance their community engagement strategies, the Law Enforcement Community Engagement Network (LECEN) offers invaluable resources. LECEN provides best practices, peer support, industry expertise, and current research for both sworn and non-sworn personnel in community engagement roles across the nation. Join us in building bridges and fostering trust between law enforcement and communities through impactful community events.
