✨ NEW COLLECTIVE GIVING RESEARCH! ✨ It's finally here! A new report released today, “In Abundance: An Analysis of the Thriving Landscape of Collective Giving in the U.S.” explores the transformative impact of collective giving on philanthropy. We are so grateful to release this report in partnership with Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy and Colmena Consulting.

✨ Founded in 2014, Borealis Philanthropy supports transformative work led by BIPOC, LGBTQ , people with disabilities, and those affected by police violence, mass incarceration, and poverty, directing resources to those most impacted by injustice. The Black-Led Movement Fund (BLMF) and Disability Inclusion Fund (DIF) recently launched The Black Disabled Liberation Project with a $1M investment from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This initiative supports Black disabled activists, combining grantmaking with an action and resource hub.🌟 “This project is driven by our belief that any social justice approach without disability justice is incomplete,” said Sandy Ho, DIF Program Director. “We know ableism and anti-Blackness are interconnected. This funding invests in Black disabled wisdom, ingenuity, and joy.” 💙 Learn more about this powerhouse for social justice, their groundbreaking work, and the selected grantees: https://bit.ly/4cTztxl #CollectiveGiving #Philanthropy #CollaborativeFunds #DisabilityJustice #DisabilityPrideMonth

A Promising Start for Giving in 2024! 🚨 Despite a 2.1% drop in charitable giving in 2023, fundraisers are cautiously optimistic as early 2024 trends show promise, according to the latest “Giving USA Foundation” report. Inflation and declining individual donations have been significant challenges, with individual giving slipping to 67.2% from 67.4% in 2022. 🌟 What is working? Our CEO, Sara Lomelin, highlights how giving circles fostering discussions about priorities and goals help donors feel more invested and connected to the causes they support.
