Moving from Intention to Impact: Funding Racial Equity to Win

This joint PolicyLink-Bridgespan study analyzes the state of funding for racial equity, highlighting critical concerns for funders aiming for transformative change. It notes insufficient funding for historically undercapitalized organizations, predominantly led by people of color and focused on systems change. The report emphasizes that accountability in racial equity work requires rigorous, transparent reporting. Funders are urged to trust and prioritize the needs articulated by movement leaders to direct resources effectively towards initiatives addressing root causes of inequity, ensuring enduring impact beyond temporary responses.
