This article shares viewpoints and perspectives on philanthropy regarding understanding the concept of "Community." From the article: "If foundations want to increase “community engagement,” they should value communication with an individual, organization or group that the foundation aims to support. Community engagement should be weighed as at least equal to input from other sources, with the potential to have meaningful impact." #Community #Philanthropy #NonprofitSupport https://lnkd.in/etbR_WjN

Philanthropy was built backward—it started with creating systems, strategies and outcomes instead of rooting itself in understanding, relationships and trust. To realize progress, philanthropic leaders must engage in introspection, questioning the systems they have created and are now responsible for stewarding. Have we upheld the community's trust? Do we understand the real needs of the communities we serve? Have we built strong, resilient networks? Are our actions increasing equity or creating further disparities?

✨ Today is National Nonprofit Day! As we celebrate and honor organizations around the world who are serving and improving our communities, let's consider how we can make our giving more equitable. Leaders of color receive just 3.6% of nonprofit funding, and causes like women and girls (1.9%) and the LGBTQIA2S+ community (0.28%) are often overlooked. By shifting the power of philanthropy, we can change who gives, how we give, and what gets funded. Nonprofits, especially grassroots initiatives, need flexible, trust-based support to drive real change.
