EQUITY ADVANCING EQUITY – A NEW REPORT FROM BLUEPRINT RESEARCH & DESIGN
Submitted by Tommer on October 7, 2009
This report focuses on how community philanthropies – community foundations, loan funds, and others – are using mission investing to address these fundamental inequities in their communities. The social inequities shaped by race, ethnicity, class, and gender and sexual orientation are exacerbated by inequitable access to capital. Success stories abound of community driven efforts to redress these challenges – many of which start locally and become national models. The report chronicles these successes, offers resources and guidance for incorporating these strategies into your portfolio, and provides sample measures of impact.
