“In a landmark year for progress toward racial equity, we’ve seen that when funders decide to resource movements and organizations doing the work, change is possible. We are honored to partner with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative whose generous support is helping invest in new futures through the Emerging LGBTQ Leaders of Color Fund, which supports visionary queer leaders of color who are building a more inclusive world, and the Racial Equity to Accelerate Change (REACH) Fund which supports nonprofits transforming practices to be more equitable and accountable.”
“Developed in 1977, Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples provides direct support to frontline community initiatives for decolonization, self-determination, and Re-Indigenization. Our work focuses on culturally-rooted and community-generated movement building that fortify Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge, power, rights, and capacities for our future generations. Our partnership with CZI is a new relationship at a critical juncture in time. It helps us strengthen that work and to direct urgently needed resources to Indigenous-created and Indigenous-led solutions for social, cultural, economic, and ecological justice — to secure the Rights of Mother Earth. Our work is to build a positive future for the next seven generations of our Peoples, Families, and Nations.”
“CZI’s generous donation supported our ability to deliver a first-of its-kind program. Our competency-based model was designed to help protect and preserve the legacy of HBCUs, and included the participation of 40 current and former HBCU Presidents, coaches and mentors. We are grateful for CZI's support in our quest to give inaugural Fellows a world-class leadership experience.”
