Trust is the foundation of strong, loving communities. It's the foundation of transparent philanthropy & a multiracial democracy. The more we invest in building trust, the greater change we can catalyze.

We need clean air, great transportation, affordable housing, and amazing public schools! Together, we have the power to advocate for change and transform systems through collective action and collective liberation. Sounding the alarm and raising our voices is the first step.

[Schott Foundation for Public Education @SchottFound]

In a rapidly shifting world, philanthropy must reflect the times. Our internal systems should be as responsive and transformative as the work we support.

This was recorded at the 2023 HEAL Convening in Whitakers, North Carolina, but the sentiment could not ring more true today. Public schools are the cornerstone of our democracy, and it is imperative that we protect them.

Thank you to Christina Spears from NCAE

A few years ago, we asked grassroots advocates across the country what an endowment could mean for their work.

Today, we’re still calling for bold, long-term, investments like endowments, so that grantees can better focus on advancing their missions.
