"Anti-Racism Funding Practices: Transforming Public and Private Philanthropic Funding"
Edited by Ruqaiijah Yearby, Debbie Chase, & Michael Muhammad
A compilation of the perspectives of the Anti-Racism Consortium, IHJE, and community leaders, this report summarizes the inadequacies of traditional funding practices that prevent much of the funded work from addressing racism and eliminating health inequities. This report proceeds to make recommendations that could transform how funders partner with racial and ethnic minority communities — and that could empower the communities as well as advance justice and human dignity for all.
