Gobioff Foundation could use some help identifying potential organizations to receive our Juneteenth grants. Each year since 2020, the Gobioff Foundation has chosen 5 organizations to receive unrestricted grants of $20,000 with no obligations or expectation of reporting. As a small family foundation, we are looking to our community to help identify worthy organizations to support as part of this program. To qualify, organizations must be an eligible 501(c)3 as determined by the IRS, have BIPOC leadership, and have a mission to improve Black Lives. Organizations can be located anywhere in the United Sates. They do not have to be art organizations. Art isn’t a category we are looking for. This is NOT a popularity contest. Coordinated efforts by organizations to have multiple people submit will not make a difference. We’re not counting votes. We are just trying to discover organizations that we wouldn’t otherwise know about. To see what type of organization we are looking for, please look at the list of previous Juneteenth grantees on our Grantees page. Nominate here: https://lnkd.in/eH4g2BeK

In the South, where more than half of all Black Americans live and where the health outcomes regularly rank among the worst in the country, DEI programs are being eliminated in medical schools. Mississippi has the worst health metrics with 1.1 million Black people and only 660 Black physicians. Two state representatives have introduced separate bills to restrict how universities could spend money on DEI initiatives. In March, the University of Florida eliminated all DEI programs and terminated jobs related to those efforts. In Alabama, lawyers and school leaders are grappling with a bill signed the same month by Republican Gov. Kay Ivey that bans DEI programs in public schools, state agencies, and universities starting Oct. 1. “We have to be very, very careful,” said Richard deShazo, who teaches at the University of Alabama’s Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine in Birmingham and used to chair a committee that raised money for Black medical school students. “You cannot raise money for Black kids. You have to raise money for medical students,” he said. Link to full article: https://lnkd.in/exuWAxQg

Administrative Assistant | Healthcare Advocate (Passionate about promoting healthcare equity and addressing implicit bias in patient care).
Despite advances in technology and knowledge, the daunting challenge medical schools face in training more Black doctors is a stark indicator that we are moving backward, not forwards, in addressing health equity. It reflects systemic barriers hindering aspiring Black physicians' access to medical education. This isn't just a setback for potential doctors but a loss for us all—diversity in healthcare providers is key to equitable health outcomes. We must confront this issue head-on, reassess our priorities, and invest in a system that elevates all, regardless of race. How do you think we can overcome these barriers? Let’s start the conversation. #HealthEquity #DiversityInMedicine #FutureDoctors

By bridging the equity gap for Black communities, we ultimately advance the well-being of ALL communities. We do this work for those on the frontlines of racial justice, we do this work to honor the legacy of our ancestors, and we do this work so that Black communities can know a world that includes freedom and joy. We believe in the power of Black possibilities and a vision rooted in Black permanency. Black-led organizations have an average revenue of 24% less than White-led organizations, and their unrestricted net assets are 76% smaller. We know that much of this disparity is driven by inequitable funding practices. That’s why we partner with BLOs and funders to reimagine a sector that centers equity in grantmaking.
