The path forward: How funders can respond to the Supreme Court’s affirmative action rulings

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.

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.
