The Fast Company Impact Council highlights the necessity for the philanthropic sector to unite against anti-establishment movements and restore trust in charitable institutions. An open letter from notable foundations urges solidarity to combat executive orders and funding freezes threatening nonprofit independence. Living Cities supports this pledge but emphasizes the need for tangible action, focusing on creating inclusive economic growth. A significant portion of the workforce feels alienated from economic opportunities, necessitating a counter-narrative to the perception of the system being rigged against working people, particularly those marginalized by race and geography.
Our country cannot thrive if everyone does not participate in our collective economic growth.
We need to counter the narrative that institutions do not support the working people while also acknowledging that there are many reasons why the system is, in fact, rigged against them.
The philanthropic sector must lead the charge against the anti-establishment and anti-knowledge crusade that is attacking civic leaders.
We applaud the philanthropic sector for standing up and standing together on this important issue of trust and independence.
