Urgent Case and Guidance for Philanthropy in the South
The urgent case and guidance for foundations and nonprofits in the South focus on increasing funding for marginalized communities to strengthen their power and quality of life. Data shows a significant gap in per capita grantmaking between the South, national philanthropy, and other regions. The goal is to create sustainable strategies that are accountable and informed by Southern communities, emphasizing organizing, advocacy, and civic engagement. Success in the South lies in securing wins for equity and progress while preventing regressions and building long-term power.
