I enjoyed so much deep learning from my peers & moments of joy with my @kresgefdn colleagues at the @CHANGEPhil #UnitySummit2023.

One consistent message: There can be no racial #equity without #reparations. Learn more about it & fund it. https://t.co/N0uQc1q3jB

Key takeaway from the Federal Funding for Climate Justice panel @CHANGEPhil #2023UnitySummit: It's philanthropy's job to ensure that the influx of federal funds reach those communities most impacted by #ClimateChange by investing deeply in climate justice orgs on the front lines

#2023UnitySummit panel urges funders to make a multi-generational commitment. Philanthropy cannot retreat; backlash is your receipt that you did something. Now is the time to be bold & courageous. Powerful discussion @aretana @mauriceWFP @cynthiachoi1 @RJGrantmakers Joey Williams

[Kresge Foundation @kresgefdn]

An inspiring & thought-provoking first day @CHANGEPhil #2023UnitySummit starting with a powerful opening session on how #funders can show up more deeply during a time of backlash. #Philanthropy is about the love of humanity, says @aliceyhom, and we must think about the long game.
