The path forward: How funders can respond to the Supreme Court’s affirmative action rulings
While SCOTUS’ affirmative action decisions represent yet another dark moment in U.S. history, the democratic process has shown us — time and time again — that there is a path forward: it is called the ballot box.
Americans don’t think nonprofits can fix society’s ills. Here’s how to make sure charities can succeed.
When asked to cite examples of what’s working, many of us point to other cities, states or nations – rather than the solutions happening right in our backyards. To change people’s minds, we must shift the narrative – the stories we tell ourselves about how society works and what obstructs change – toward the things nonprofits and their partners are already doing about deep-seated problems.
Philanthropy Day of Action for the Charitable Act
Call on Congress on Oct. 4 to make the universal charitable deduction a reality.
Vote on Tuesday, August 8, in the special election for Issue 1
It was the consensus of the Philanthropy Ohio Board to oppose the passage of Issue 1. Of equal importance was the consensus of the Board that the members of Philanthropy Ohio be given the appropriate tools and information so that they and their community partners can make an informed decision on August 8.
Reflecting on the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling
Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are vital components of a just society, and affirmative action measures are necessary to address the systemic barriers that have historically disadvantaged marginalized groups. I encourage all our members to engage in constructive dialogue, educate others about the importance of affirmative action and advocate for policies that promote equity and inclusivity.
