For generations, we’ve outgrown our shells and created them anew. Endowing grassroots movement groups helps ensure that as generations come and go, the causes we care about continue to move forward no matter what. Thank you Darren Isom from the The Bridgespan Group

Two graduating seniors from the Leadership Team were honored with the third annual Youth Leadership Scholarship Award, along with special citations from the Providence City Council. Congratulations to Providence Student Union for the great event!

Schott grantee partner @pvdstudentunion celebrated youth leaders at The Art of Student Power: Quinceañera Edition on May 30th. The event featured music, performances, dancing, a silent auction, creative activities, food, drinks, and more!

Trust is the foundation of strong, loving communities. It's the foundation of transparent philanthropy & a multiracial democracy. The more we invest in building trust, the greater change we can catalyze. Thank You ED of The Education Justice Alliance Letha Muhammad

We need clean air, great transportation, affordable housing, and amazing public schools! Together, we have the power to advocate for change and transform systems through collective action and collective liberation. Sounding the alarm and raising our voices is the first step.

In a rapidly shifting world, philanthropy must reflect the times. Our internal systems should be as responsive and transformative as the work we support.

This was recorded at the 2023 HEAL Convening in Whitakers, North Carolina, but the sentiment could not ring more true today. Public schools are the cornerstone of our democracy, and it is imperative that we protect them. Thank you to Christina Spears from NCAE

#PrideMonth is about showing up as your full self, unapologetically. It's about ensuring every young person feels seen, supported, and celebrated. It's about championing the diversity of our communities and honoring every contribution that makes our world stronger.

A few years ago, we asked grassroots advocates across the country what an endowment could mean for their work. Today, we’re still calling for bold, long-term, investments like endowments, so that grantees can better focus on advancing their missions.
