🎤 I am thrilled to announce that I’ll be speaking at the 2024 National Forum on Family Philanthropy this September. Over three days, family philanthropists will come together in Atlanta to explore the theme of making bold choices to achieve bold change. I’ll be speaking at this National Center for Family Philanthropy (NCFP) event along with Pia Infante, Elizabeth Bonner, and Aimee Cunningham to discuss Trust-Based Philanthropy: Community Accountability Leads to Lasting Impact.

Sometimes we talk about closing the racial and gender wealth gap. Sometimes we talk about trust-based philanthropy. Sometimes we talk about nonprofit worker well-being. Today, we're talking about hanging folders. We're a hybrid office with over 12 feet of hanging folders from the beforetime. Do you want them? Do you know where we should donate them? And yes, we'll be posting next about paperclips.

Justice Sonya Sotomayor cited EBCLC client, Erin Spencer, in her dissent in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson. It wasn’t how we expected our client advocacy to come before our nation’s highest court, but it was vital that our work served as a pointed reminder of what’s at stake in the upcoming election and of our power as individuals and communities to be civically engaged. Read our statement below:
Last week, EBCLC made our way to the Supreme Court. In her powerful dissent in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, Justice Sotomayor cited the experience of EBCLC client Erin Spencer, an unhoused disabled veteran. It wasn’t how we expected our client advocacy to come before our nation’s highest court, but it was vital that our work served as a pointed reminder of what’s at stake in the upcoming election and of our power as individuals and communities to be civically engaged. Visit our website to read our full statement about the decision and how we can choose to fight back as a community: https://lnkd.in/ekF9aMAa

Creative Work Fund is excited to announce 17 new grant awards to Bay Area artists and organizations collaborating to develop new works of visual art, theater, music composition, dance, artistic activism, social practice, and more. Natalia Vigil, Relationship Manager for the Arts and Creative Work Fund comments, “These projects exemplify how artists create meaningful work through collaborations with people, places, and matters that are important to them. Grantees continue to show us how the making of art together is a necessary act, and when artists and organizations are in partnership, they strengthen the Bay Area.” Funded projects speak to how artists are groundbreaking, with projects rooted in the power of history, visibility and imagination; projects that activate public space, using art as an ecstatic form of community organizing and reminding us that the future begins out in the open; and projects that model collective care, transformative healing, and joy.
