Damon Daniel, President of Impact 100 organization AdHoc Group Against Crime, has noticed a shift in traditional nonprofit funding towards trust-based philanthropy. But gaps still exist when it comes to Black-led organizations seeking funding. We met with five Black nonprofit leaders to discuss the challenges they have experienced growing their organizations and securing funding. Damon shares about the importance of investing in people who look like the communities they serve, the need for flexible funding, and the biggest obstacles that Black leaders face in this article: https://buff.ly/49iyGUS #BlackHistoryMonth

"Because trust-based philanthropy calls on organizations to align their values to culture and structures as much as it does to their grantmaking practices, taking a trust-based approach often requires foundation boards to also reorient their purpose and areas of focus. As a guide for boards on this reframe, this resource outlines the four, non-mutually exclusive focal points—learning, strategy, grantmaking, and imagination—in which foundation boards can direct their time and attention when stewarding trust-based organizations."
