Values and Practices That Are Imperative for Good Social Justice Grantmaking
Submitted by lguinee on Mon, 05/10/2010 - 11:20The Working Group on Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace takes an unapologetically normative approach to the question, "What is good social justice philanthropy?" Here we describe the values and practices we believe are imperative for social justice grantmaking. Our aim is not to cut off debate but to encourage it, to create a space in which our differences can be aired and we can all find ways to improve our work.
Take a look. What do you think?

It was so wonderful to meet all of you last week in Cairo, and I look forward to deepening relationships with this inspiring group in the coming months.
Many of you asked me to follow up on various issues, and so I am sending this email to the entire group in case others are also interested.
