"The debate inside and outside California about AB 624, the state bill that would mandate the collection and posting by foundations of data about their grantmaking to communities of color, presents a clash between well-intentioned but misdirected intervention by government and defensive reactions from the philanthropic sector. The net result, whatever happens to the legislation – which seems unlikely to pass in its current form, anyway – is that mistrust between the two sectors could widen. There is danger that the debate will distract attention from the most profound issues of race and power that the bill is trying to address." -- Gara LaMarche in foreword to “Measuring What We Value,” the first volume of PRE’s new Critical Issues Forum.
This is clearly a critical moment in philanthropy. Unfortunately, it is one that has been fraught with far more heat than light. Our goal at this stage is to look beyond AB 624, with interest in reframing much of the debate toward meaningful and long-term strategies to increase philanthropic support for racial and social justice.
Toward the end, we have invited seven writers – each with deep knowledge and long track records in racial and social justice issues – to share their perspectives on the legislation. We’ve asked them to consider the questions grantmakers and nonprofits should be addressing long after the fate of this one bill is decided.
