Many of you have been asking, and I finally have looked at enough numbers and reviewed enough of the fundamentals to make my call: Here is where you should donate strategically to help hold the Senate. https://lnkd.in/evYwiTX3

In September, ACLU organized 150+ nonprofits signed a letter in opposition of the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act (H.R. 9495). This month, our national sector partners have issued a joint statement of opposition to this bill and its provisions. While the goal of this bill may sound straightforward, it would provide the Treasury Secretary with nearly unchecked power to revoke the tax-exempt status of charities without due process, and there is potential for this provision to be abused. The Minnesota Council on Foundations is in opposition to this provision in the bill and have been reaching out to the Minnesota Congressional delegation to share our perspective on this issue. ---------------------------------------------- Civil Society Letter to House Opposing H.R. 9495 from ACLU: https://lnkd.in/giZ4npnp Joint statement of opposition from national sector partners: https://lnkd.in/gsMQ4arD

As organizations work in the trenches, reforming America's entrenched systems, they face nonstop pressure. Now more than ever, we need the bold support described in recent discussions: foundations stepping into the fray, not back, to fortify these crucial movements. True solidarity means sharing the risk, not shying away. It also needs to be stated that Inclusivity in Black-led movements means embracing all members of the community. Ignoring the needs of Black men with initiatives focused only on women, girls, queer, and trans individuals, leaves our collective pursuit of justice incomplete. It isn’t innovate; it’s leaning into the divisiveness. #keepBuilding

I'm excited to share in my op-ed in Inside Philanthropy how c3 funds can be deployed to support the nonpartisan, charitable programs at c4 organizations, which legally need to spend the majority of their funds on nonpartisan work. c3 funders can unlock political opportunity by funding all social change leaders for their nonpartisan work, and this will allow us to strengthen democracy and unlock durable social change. https://lnkd.in/e9b3p-ar

#ICYMI HRFN’s report explores the “trust gap” in human rights philanthropy—significant disparities in funding for groups in the Global South and East as compared to groups in the Global North. The report finds the trust gap across a range of funding decisions and practices: ➡️ from where organizations are based that are funded to lead human rights work, ➡️ to the size of the grants they receive,  ➡️ to the extent of flexibility they have to decide how to use the funding. 🔗Dig into the findings of the report:https://bit.ly/3rBEDfi #AdvancingHumanRights #HumanRightsFunding #BetterFundingData #TrustGapReport #Philanthropy #HumanRights #Data #Funding
