Advocacy
Philanthropy must be a part of systems change.
We believe in the power of collective action. We’re bringing together funders, government, and community partners to advocate for new, liberatory systems. Together, we’re addressing the magnitude of social inequities through major realignment of philanthropy.
Courageous
Collaboration
Advocating for sector change requires collective effort. By collaborating with aligned partners, we can leverage our combined expertise and resources to push for greater accountability within the philanthropic sector.
Equity-Centered Empowerment
We center nonprofit voices in our work to champion advocacy efforts tailored to their priorities and communities. This approach ensures that those most impacted are at the forefront of our decision-making, leading to more effective advocacy outcomes.
Adaptive Innovation
Just as we encourage nonprofits to experiment and iterate, we apply the same mindset to our advocacy initiatives. By embracing flexibility, learning from failures, and adapting our strategies, we remain agile in our pursuit of meaningful and sustainable change.
