Family Foundation Moves Boldly and Urgently To Liberate Funds in Support of Black Lives
As a small, Southern-based family foundation, we were inspired to answer the latest call to action by Black movement leaders in the South and support a new initiative, The Southern Power Fund. Black, Southern organizing continues to receive only 4% of philanthropic dollars. As a family, investing in the Southern Power Fund is a way to interrupt this pattern.
Our grant reflects both the urgency of this moment and the importance of standing alongside and behind Black Southern leaders.
