A Guide for Pursuing Black Equity & Racial Justice in Philanthropic Initiatives and Government Systems
Research, empirical data and anecdotal evidence are clear: racial injustice continues to serve as a destructive force in society, undermining our democratic values of liberty, justice and self-determination for all.
​
Progress on Black equity and racial justice must be part of any forward movement in the United States- and will only be achieved when philanthropic investments, public policies, and institutional practices boldly confront racial injustice.
​
These Black equity principles, which are grounded in the essence of Black joy, community and resilience, were co-created by the Black Equity Initiative grantee organizations to serve as a guide and call to action for any Funder or government body seeking to disrupt racial injustice at scale.
