Join us virtually as we present key findings from our first Power-Shifting Solidarity research. Our panel of researchers and community leaders will discuss & analyze what it will take for institutional philanthropy to invest wholly in Black lives in Minnesota and beyond.
In May 2023, we will commemorate the historic and global call for racial justice ignited right here in Minnesota. While it’s been almost three years since that uprising, the call–and need–for transformational change still reverberates today. The Black Collective Foundation MN has partnered with the Center for Evaluation Innovation with contributions by Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity (PRE) to release our first research report. The report integrates MN specific philanthropic data with voices across local philanthropy and Black-led change-makers exploring the definitions and impact of racial justice, Black-led change, and anti-Blackness. The report highlights local and national philanthropy’s investment in racial equity and justice to offer a baseline understanding of our funding landscape and center Black lives as we usher in a new kind of philanthropy that is accountable and inspired to be in power-shifting solidarity with Black-led change.
