This document summarizes funding for LGBTQ communities in the Midwestern United States between 2011-2014. It finds that while total funding fluctuated between $7-10 million annually, the Midwest receives only 7-8% of domestic LGBTQ funding and 14% of state/local funding when excluding national organizations. The top issues funded are civil rights (33%) and health/well-being (25%), and the most common funding strategies are advocacy (39%) and direct services (32%). Discrimination protections and economic challenges also face LGBTQ individuals in the Midwest.
The face of philanthropy has changed dramatically over time. What does Diversity and Philanthropy look like today? How can YMCA fundraising programs thrive in our changing communities? In this webinar we will share the latest trends on philanthropy in diverse communities, why these trends are important for the YMCA. We’ll explore how our internal and external dimensions of diversity impact philanthropic behavior, including gender, age, faith, and race and ethnicity.
Women in Philanthropy: Insights and Trends You Can ApplyGraham-Pelton
Graham-Pelton's President, Elizabeth Zeigler, spoke at this year's CASE Europe Conference on Women in Philanthropy: Insights and Trends You Can Apply. In this era of “Lean In,” women are emerging boldly in the for-profit and non-profit sectors – including as campaign volunteer leaders and lead donors. Major gift fundraisers will benefit from current data about women and their philanthropy in order to develop sound engagement and solicitation strategies. We will provide an analysis of women making 1M+ gifts, spotlight trends that will affect the future, and share actionable insights.
There are 1.5 million non-profits with an estimated $2.6 trillion in assets. Some are huge operations including the United Way, Red Cross, American Cancer Society and the YMCA. Some lobby. Some compete against non-profits. They all compete against each other for donations. All face compassion fatigue, and many run into PR difficulties ... or worse (see Lance Armstrong and Livestrong). They may not be for profit and for the most part they are well respected, but they still need reputation and brand management in our 24-7-365 digital society.
What do the best philanthropists in the world do?
This presentation was given by Dr. Nora Silver, Director and Adjust Professor at the Center for Nonprofit and Public Leadership, Berkeley-Haas and Nicholas Hodges of the San Francisco Foundation.
Discover the different avenues to invest for a social impact and work through your possible giving philosophy.

The CAF World Giving Index is the world’s leading study of global generosity. It is based on surveys carried out in 145 countries throughout last year which ask people (aged 15 and over) whether they have donated money, volunteered time or helped a stranger in the past month. By measuring these three basic kinds of giving we get a simple, but universally understood, picture of generosity across the world.

The current debates within progressive circles about the importance of “winning over” the white working class often fail to directly address the need for honest conversations about race, racism and xenophobia. It is tempting for many political strategists and funders to think that we can find and fund a short cut—better candidates, better field canvassing, better television ads, better framing etc... And, that these solutions will influence white, working class voters to (re)align with progressive candidates and causes.
These interventions are doomed from the start because they often focus on how to influence short-term behavior (voting) and fail to engage people in the honest conversations about how the race, racism, and xenophobia are being used to scapegoat their neighbors and divide them from other working-class communities.
This webinar features Tarso Luis Ramos of Political Research Associates in a conversation with Mark Schultz from the Land Stewardship Project in Minnesota and Rhonda Perry of the Missouri Rural Crisis Center. After an overview of xenophobic, white nationalist, and “alt-right” groups in the U.S., the speakers discuss successful models for organizing thousands of rural, white, working-class community members using explicit conversations about race and racism.

9/9 FRI 9:30 | Planning & the LGBT Community in Florida 1APA Florida
Marisa Salas
In recent years, Richard Florida (Creative Cities) has highlighted the link between tolerance and a city’s ability to attract and retain the highly skilled and creative workforce that is required for high
technology industries to thrive. Florida finds that the presence of a visible LGBT population is an excellent indicator of tolerance. Yet most planners and planning documents look the other way
when it comes to acknowledging the presence of sexual and gender minorities within their cities. This session explores some of the critical issues surrounding planning for and with the LGBT community in the 21st century.

Webinar - Systems Changes Towards Equity & Inclusion in the Midwest: Vision a...Neighborhood Funders Group
http://www.nfg.org/midwest_systems_webinar
Sponsored by Woods Fund Chicago, Zilber Family Foundation, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, New York Foundation, and Neighborhood Funders Group.
Building safe, inclusive, and more equitable communities for low-income and communities of color becomes even more critical as cities and regions continue to develop and expand. In places like Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit, large populations of low-income black communities, immigrant communities, and others continue to be plagued with problems ranging from poor schools, low quality housing, and lack of job opportunities. However, community groups are continuing to work towards solutions that will improve lives in these places.
Working with these community groups to navigate the deep history of racially charged polices that have excluded communities, philanthropic institutions and leaders are forging ahead impactful place-based strategies that empower residents, build partnerships, and push towards more equitable change.
On May 25, 2017, Neighborhood Funders Group brought together four Midwest philanthropic leaders for a conversation on how they are working to improve neighborhoods and create economic opportunity for communities.
The discussion explored topics including:
- Strategies and approaches from Midwest funders to improve neighborhoods and create economic opportunities for underserved communities
- How funders are addressing intersectional issues like immigration, jobs, poverty, violence, or others that link to equitable development, housing affordability, and community organizing/power-building
- How philanthropic leaders are addressing racial justice and structural racism issues with their grantees
Speakers:
- Grace B. Hou, President, Woods Fund Chicago
- Susan Lloyd, Executive Director, Zilber Family Foundation
- Ed Egnatios, Program Officer, W.K. Kellogg Foundation

This 14th edition of the tracking report finds that LGBTQ grantmaking reached a new record high of $160.7 million! The report notes significant increases in funding for trans communities, grantmaking to address criminalization and criminal justice reform, and support for LGBTQ communities in the U.S. South.
LGBTQ Criminalization and Criminal Justice ReformMarvin Webb
This infographic raises awareness about how LGBTQ people are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system. It notes that biased policing and aggressive sentencing make LGBTQ people more likely to face time in prison, where they often face poor treatment and abuse. It also explores funding for LGBTQ criminalization and criminal justice reform, which, while still small, is growing.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
