Racial Justice Community Impact Circle

Many of us are asking what we can do to ensure a more just society. The Racial Justice Community Impact Circle is a place for donors to unpack their own privileges and biases, reflect on their abilities to effect change, and move beyond transactional philanthropy to transformational work.

There is a spectrum of stages to becoming an antiracist: Awareness—Acknowledgement — Acceptance — Action — Commitment. Members of this group worked for a year to move along the continuum, beginning with foundational self-exploration and social justice learning, then meeting with community leaders and nonprofits for in-depth conversations on specific issues. By the end of the circle’s engagement, each member decides on which organizations they wanted to invest in, which this fund reflects. If you are searching for racial justice organizations to partner with, it is our hope that you will be inspired by this portfolio.
