"Reparations needs more than just money Oftentimes, when people think of reparations, they believe that it starts and ends with money. However, the movement for reparations focuses both on finances and on creating a national culture where true acknowledgment and redress can lead to a better future for everyone. As Aria Florant says, “As much as it is about our past, it has to be about our future.” She goes on to explain that a one-time payment may close the racial wealth disparities for a limited time; however, if the systemic and infrastructural systems that created the gap are not fixed, it will only re-open. 'We view culture change as critical to actually making the policy change durable. It’s not just about the destination; it’s also about the culture change that we want to see in the journey along the way.' — Aria Florant" Insights from “Philanthropy’s Role in Reparations and Building a Culture of Racial Repair”

ICYMI - @Philanthropy New York's 45th Annual Meeting featured a conversation that reminded me that if we can't imagine a different future, we've already lost. Manuela Arciniegas, Executive Director, Communities for Just Schools Fund Yamani Yansà Hernandez, CEO, Groundswell Fund Alli Jernow, Vice President of Social Justice Program, Arcus Foundation Saida Agostini-Bostic (Moderator), CEO, Funders for LGBTQ Issues Power At The Core: What are the ways foundations can move beyond traditional models of philanthropy by fostering cross-sector collaboration and building community power? Power shapes our leadership inside and outside of our institutions. In this panel, we will unpack formal and informal power structures that characterize our work at the individual, institutional, and ecosystem levels. We will delve into the ways that funders are re-evaluating their strategy to support the consolidation of power with communities, rethinking practices to shift power into the hands of their nonprofit partners, and re-imagining the power dynamic internally within their organizations to empower staff to have a greater impact within their individual spheres of influence.
