"Over the decade 2012-2021, charitable giving to #LGBTQ+ organizations more than doubled...However, this still amounts to less than $1 out of every $500 donated going to support LGBTQ+ organizations." Interesting report here on trends over the last decade-plus, and a reminder that there is still much to do in advancing equity in #philanthropy.

Good things happening at THE JPB FOUNDATION, including increasing their giving by 20%. Foundations are required to pay out 5% of their assets; JPB will pay out 12%. “Philanthropy needs to be part of the chorus of voices that are speaking up for how essential multiracial democracy and its institutions and practices are,” Bhargava said. ... ""JPB’s focus will be on supporting groups that increase the political sway of people of color, LGBTQ people, and workers; fighting online misinformation; and making grants to faith-based institutions and other groups that work to get people with different backgrounds and beliefs to find common ground." ... "The foundation’s new grant-making programs are: Democracy, Gender, and Racial Justice; Community and Worker Power; Movement Infrastructure and Explorations; Faith, Bridging, and Belonging; and Reproductive Justice, Medical Research, and NYC Community Grants." https://lnkd.in/eJQTvCxz

Chronicle of Philanthropy Opinion: Art + Activism = Change. But It’s a Formula Philanthropy Largely Ignores. By Ken Grossinger (co-founder and chair of the CrossCurrents Foundation and the author of “Art Works; How Organizers and Artists are Creating a Better World Together”.) Ongoing efforts to roll back social gains, such as reproductive and LGBTQ rights, have made one thing clear: Focusing on politics alone won’t create lasting social change. Political debates and legislation are too closely tied to the whims of the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Instead, what drives long-term shifts is culture — the public attitudes and narratives that underlie progress. That’s why some of the most effective social movements combine activism with art — music, film, theater, visual arts, and more. When artist-activists and community and labor organizers work together, they have the power to convert minds and hearts and transform societies. Many are using art to create powerful narratives — taking control of the stories that shape how we think about history, culture, people, and places. https://lnkd.in/g6xnYWpd

Elements of the charitable sector appear to be suffering from long COVID, which impacts those infected for months and even years. New data from the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) shows executive and staff burnout top the list of issues. In a new report, “State Of Nonprofits 2024: What Funders Need To Know,” one-third of nonprofit leaders surveyed say that they are “very much” concerned about their own burnout (33%), and half report that they are more concerned about their burnout now than last year. LGBTQ+ identifying leaders reported moderately higher levels of concern about their own burnout than their non-LGBTQ+ identifying counterparts. https://lnkd.in/gx6E8D9r

Let's talk about the intersection of the arts, activism and philanthropy: • "Ongoing efforts to roll back social gains, such as reproductive and LGBTQ rights, have made one thing clear: Focusing on politics alone won’t create lasting social change.... Instead, what drives long-term shifts is culture — the public attitudes and narratives that underlie progress. That’s why some of the most effective social movements combine activism with art.... When artist-activists and community and labor organizers work together, they have the power to convert minds and hearts and transform societies." Read Ken Grossinger's opinion piece in 'The Chronicle of Philanthropy': https://lnkd.in/gaFkkGJA • "We know from the research that the arts and the humanities allow us to be more empathetic, to see the humanity in other people, to put ourselves in other people’s shoes, and to have more empathy. We cannot be a just nation if the citizenry lacks empathy, lacks the capacity to see the humanity in other people, especially people who don’t look like them or who may be of a different economic or social background." Read the interview with Ford Foundation president Darren Walker: https://lnkd.in/gM9QbupR • "The Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, a social impact funder at the intersection of music, public space, and community building, today announced it will spend down its $150M in assets over the next two decades and will close its doors in 2041."

Skybound Initiative: Elevating Underrepresented Businesses & Organizations I am beyond excited to share an update on the Skybound Initiative’s progress! This journey has been filled with incredible support and momentum, and I'm proud to say we’ve already raised about $400. While there's still a way to go, every single contribution is a huge help and goes directly toward uplifting underrepresented small businesses in our community. The Skybound Initiative has been a dream years in the making. As a BIPOC LGBTQ+ entrepreneur, I wanted to create more than just a business—I wanted to build a space where diverse voices can shine through bold, innovative design and marketing. This initiative is dedicated to empowering underrepresented entrepreneurs, including Female-Identifying, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and Persons with Disabilities, by offering free branding, website development, and marketing services to help them thrive in a competitive marketplace. Your support has already made a huge difference, but we still need your help to reach our goal of $15,000. With that, we can fund four grant recipients in 2025, and create stability to recreate that success in 2026 and beyond! Supporting this initiative means you’re directly contributing to the dreams of small business owners and helping strengthen our local economy. Please help by sharing this update, contributing if you can, and encouraging others to check out our mission. As a thank you, all donors will receive a discount on future marketing services through Thunderhawk Creative. Together, we can make a lasting difference and help more dreams take flight! ✨ Thank you for your continued belief and support, —Ryne #SkyboundInitiative #SupportSmallBusiness #EmpowerEntrepreneurs #BIPOCBusiness #LGBTQBusiness #FemaleEntrepreneurs #CreativeCommunity #MarketingForGood #HoustonSmallBusiness #DreamsTakeFlight #InclusionMatters #BrandingForChange #NonprofitSupport #DonateForImpact #CommunityGrowth

Did you know that with every event ticket you purchase from Sesh Coworking the proceeds go directly supporting local non-profits, community organizations and businesses for women, communities of color and the LGBTQ+ community through providing them space??? Why do these organizations need complimentary or discounted space? Because often times the funding they receive from grants or the government is restricted to hiring, wages, or equipment. Not very often does it provide funding for space to hold board meetings, community gatherings, workshops or volunteer events. https://lnkd.in/g2_uuBtU
