“Philanthropy has perpetuated racial oppression. We must disrupt these traditional practices by giving more money to Black-led organizations, trusting them to make decisions about how to use their grant funding.” MacArthur Foundation President, John Palfrey.

The disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black communities coupled with the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin set off a litany of statements from philanthropy expressing solidarity with Black communities. abundancemovement.org

Philanthropic organizations that join the Abundance movement will commit to participating in the Abundance Action Community. In this space, funders can come together to learn & then implement how & why they can be more equitable in their giving. abundancemovement.org

“Abundance is a joyful reframe of what it means for philanthropy to be in relationship to Blackness in its fullness-our communities, culture & leadership. It is an explicit acknowledgment of the abundance of the many leaders & organizations that are out there to fund.” Grand Victoria Foundation

Abundance is a demonstration of love for Black people, embracing the multitudes of intersectional identities. It is how philanthropy moves resources when we really love Black people. abundancemovement.org #AbundanceMovement #communityimpact #racialequity #racialjustice
