Why your foundation should use NCRP's Power Moves toolkit
Make Your Power Move: Tools for your foundation’s equity journey
What does power have to do with equity? How can grantmakers better leverage power to help drive lasting, positive change in our communities?
In this webinar, learn about NCRP’s exciting new toolkit, Power Moves: Your essential philanthropy assessment guide for equity and justice, and explore how funders can examine their power, privilege and understanding of risk. With insights from knowledgeable funders and expert consultants to grantmakers, you’ll walk away with tangible resources and next steps for your organization’s journey.
Join NCRP, the Neighborhood Funders Group (NFG) and PEAK Grantmaking for a dynamic discussion, moderated by Lisa Ranghelli, senior director of assessment and special projects and primary author of Power Moves. Panelists include Hanh Le, executive director of the Weissberg Foundation; Gita Gulati-Partee, founder and president of OpenSource Leadership Strategies; and Marcelo Bonta, principal at The Raben Group. All three are planning to apply and adapt the toolkit in their own work during the next 12 months.
Member Spotlight: The California Wellness Foundation
"We make grants that other health funders might not make because we believe that advancing wellness requires a commitment to social justice. Through our grantmaking, we seek to increase access to health care, promote healthy and safe neighborhoods, expand educational opportunities, and improve economic outcomes for underserved communities." -- The California Wellness Foundation http://bit.ly/2sc7tTY

As the South Grows: Bearing Fruit
Despite Atlanta's legacy of civil rights activism and the growing challenges of today, philanthropy has not helped to ensure that organizations and networks have the resources they need to thrive. http://bit.ly/2CJWAZE
Confronting the evidence: Addressing racial disparity in environmental grantmaking
"The 'environmentalist' worldview often argues that protecting nature at all costs is a task of such magnitude that, for humanity’s sake, so-called social issues like race and class are the domain of other affinities. Such a myopic perspective depends on the fallacy that humans are wholly separate from nature." -- Michael Roberts, The 11th Hour Project

Learning from Emerson Collective’s “philanthropic recipe” for these times
"Our current political environment heightens the power and necessity of philanthropy and encourages us to reflect on those philanthropic practices that have worked the best and those in need of reinvention." -- Andrea Levere, Prosperity Now bit.ly/2sgN4x1

Amplifying the impact of outrage giving

Corporate donations to public schools are a poor substitute for government funding
Charity is not a replacement for government. When we fund schools through taxes, we have democratically elected representatives who decide how to best spend those funds for the common good. In contrast, with charitable contributions, corporations decide what is best for our schools and dictate how to use their donations.

Why LAANE became an NCRP nonprofit member
How to Creatively Fund Social Movements
As 2017 begins, community groups are organizing in a changing environment — democracy and civil rights protections are eroding, white supremacist movements are growing in chapters and members, state suppression of organizing and social justice movements is likely to increase dramatically and hate violence is on the rise. In the coming years, there will be an even greater need for philanthropy to support frontline advocacy and organizing for justice. How can funders drive more resources to community-based social change organizations, beyond the traditional grantmaking model?
