@IUnkmike @CajunBlueAZ1 A no brainer everywhere but the U.S. where apparently we lost sight that a healthy and thriving society should be the baseline, not an aspiration behind making money.

I found this new Racial Equity Message Guide with links to worksheets, resources and glossary helpful personally and for my consulting work with nonprofits, foundations and CDFIs. Take a look and share with others.

Calls for racial equity are growing & getting louder every day. But how do you talk about equitable policies? Our new guide helps advocates effectively talk to policymakers about embedding equity in policy: https://t.co/68E450C8DQ

Good legal review for foundation & endowment fiduciaries contemplating ESG: fiduciary duties include consideration of current economic, societal and environmental realities; and duty of obedience to mission does not require charities to maximize return.

@oscarthinks @NextCityOrg Brilliant use of lines of credit, guarantees, recoverable grants & collaboration to solve place-based funding gaps in vulnerable communities. All community foundations must be proficient with social finance to leverage assets for racial equity. The status quo is not acceptable.

Businesses play a vital role in the economy by creating jobs. If you believe that the free-market system is the best means of generating good jobs, a sustainable economy and economic opportunity for all, then this chart is pretty compelling for which party gets it right:

This is an incredible metaphor for life. You can spend forever trying to perfect your strategy and still miss. The better option: Don’t waste time. Take the shot as soon as you get the chance. You never know. ❤️

[Bert Feuss @bertfeuss]

And donor advised fund capital is perfectly suited for this purpose. 100% of it has already been committed for the benefit of society in exchange for a tax break. So let’s put that capital to work!

Investment management is overwhelmingly dominated by white men - and it’s costing you money.
