We hosted a funder briefing alongside the release of our latest report, "Beyond The Glass Cliff: Investing in Conditions That Sustain Women of Color Leadership.” Here’s what funders and leaders in the sector had to say about the findings. Read the full report here: bit.ly/BeyondGlassCliff
Fund women of color leaders like you mean it! This blueprint in @buildingmovement.bsky.social's new report tells philanthropic colleagues how! #beyondtheglasscliff #newreport #BMP #movementinfrastructure
If we want to truly sustain leadership, we have to move beyond short-term fixes. Our new report, "Beyond the Glass Cliff," outlines how philanthropy can better support the infrastructure, governance, and capital that women of color leaders need to thrive. Full report here: bit.ly/BeyondGlassCliff
So excited to have this research in the world! Women of color lead some of the nonprofit sector’s most powerful work. We must work with our philanthropic colleagues to ensure their leadership is seen, supported and fortified for the long haul. #fundwomenofcolor #beyondtheglasscliff #newreport #BMP
Despite increased grants for women of color-led nonprofits, philanthropy still underfunds the support needed for long-term stability. The new Building Movement Project report, "Beyond the Glass Cliff," examines how to sustain women of color leadership. Read it here: bit.ly/BeyondGlassCliff
Great piece taking stock of what we’ve learned in the past year and how folk are organizing to build community and resist in these times. #1yearin #movementbuilding #protectthenonprofitsector

Dr. Linda Davis was on her way to work when an ICE chase tore through her community and ended her life. When ICE operates without real oversight, ignores local safety rules, and acts like it is above the law, the danger spills into our neighborhoods. Linda deserved safety. #AbolishICE

Great work, @deepaiyer.bsky.social! Important to highlight there is active resistance to white Christian nationalism.
Authoritarian movements seek legitimacy by invoking a “Christian America,” but a growing number of faith leaders and faith-rooted institutions are pushing back. nonprofitquarterly.org/voices-from-... @deepaiyer.bsky.social @buildingmovement.bsky.social
✨ NEW on the Solidarity Is This podcast - we explore the challenging terrain of movement conflict with co-host Adaku Utah and Tamika Middleton (Women's March), Mike Ishii (Tsuru for Solidarity) and Mónica Enríquez-Enríquez (Foundation for a Just Society).
@buildingmovement.bsky.social's Race to Lead reports make the invisible visible on race and leadership in the nonprofit sector. "‘Invisible labor’ adds to the burden of BIPOC frontline nonprofit workers.” #racetoleadat10 #buildingmovementproject #protectthenonprofitsector
60%+ of nonprofit workers face demanding workloads—but burnout isn’t inevitable. New @BldingMovement #RaceToLead data shows inequities in voice, recognition & advancement drive burnout, esp. for BIPOC frontline staff. 🔗 Read via @Candid bit.ly/4olBKXD
