What Do We Do Next? Recalibrating Philanthropy in Post-Election California
A stronger, more just California becomes possible when every Californian, regardless of what they look like or how long they’ve been here, can shape the future of our state. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, around 80% of California’s registered voters voted, the highest since 1964. Outcomes in California’s elections were mixed, with overwhelming losses at the state initiative level, unexpected losses in congressional elections, while having strong progressive outcomes in local candidate and initiative elections. Further, funders will again be called…

Racial Justice Dialogues
Different sectors, including philanthropy, are having to confront the reality that race equity is no longer a conversation they can put off or avoid. Moreover, organizations that are earnestly attempting to pivot and align themselves with the shifting reality, are finding it challenging to identify where to begin. The landscape related to race equity has shifted significantly in the last year and recent brutal events laced with racial animus have fast-tracked race equity conversations beyond the capacity and comfort level…

Inland California Economic Development
Since elected, Governor Gavin Newsom and his administration have been committed to driving inclusive, equitable investment throughout California, with a particular focus on the underinvested regions of inland California, from the San Joaquin Valley to the Inland Empire. Over the past few years, both government and philanthropy have made strides towards achieving this vision, but the work is far from finished. Nonprofits and community leaders in inland California are still wrestling with addressing a global pandemic, economic crisis, and the…

The Ethos of Being Trust Based Session 2 | Interpersonal Skills: The Hardest Skill-Building You’ll Ever Do
In philanthropy, we sometimes overlook or deprioritize the interpersonal skills required to do this work well. This includes the ability to connect dots, show up in an emotionally intelligent way, listen actively and empathically, and know when to get out of the way. It also requires a clear understanding of power, and how power imbalances between funders and grantee partners are exacerbated by race, gender, and class inequities. Cultivating and advancing effective interpersonal skills requires practitioners to bring self-awareness, self-regulation,…
