Honored to be part of this important conversation about racial justice #philanthropy and #Blackledchange today!

[Black Collective Foundation MN @MNBlackCF]

@RJGrantmakers & PRE Team shared the state of investments to racial equity & justice : “In recent years, less than 4% of funding for MN nonprofits was focused on racial equity, and only about 0.5% was focused on racial justice.”
