Do you want to eradicate poverty or homelessness? End abuse of all kinds? Seriously address global health or gender equality? How about ensuring everyone with mental health challenges has the support they need, when they need it? Whatever your passion - as a volunteer, donor, non-profit employee, or none of the above - please find a way to see this movie (see below). It broke my heart and gave me hope. We can make enormous positive change if we start giving the non-profit sector the respect and attention it desperately needs and deserves. https://lnkd.in/g5HwSkie

ICYMI - @Philanthropy New York's 45th Annual Meeting featured a conversation that reminded me that if we can't imagine a different future, we've already lost. Manuela Arciniegas, Executive Director, Communities for Just Schools Fund Yamani Yansà Hernandez, CEO, Groundswell Fund Alli Jernow, Vice President of Social Justice Program, Arcus Foundation Saida Agostini-Bostic (Moderator), CEO, Funders for LGBTQ Issues Power At The Core: What are the ways foundations can move beyond traditional models of philanthropy by fostering cross-sector collaboration and building community power? Power shapes our leadership inside and outside of our institutions. In this panel, we will unpack formal and informal power structures that characterize our work at the individual, institutional, and ecosystem levels. We will delve into the ways that funders are re-evaluating their strategy to support the consolidation of power with communities, rethinking practices to shift power into the hands of their nonprofit partners, and re-imagining the power dynamic internally within their organizations to empower staff to have a greater impact within their individual spheres of influence.

Today marks Juneteenth, a pivotal day in American history. On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans were emancipated in Galveston, Texas, signifying the end of slavery in the United States. This day is a powerful reminder of the resilience, strength, and enduring spirit of the African American community. At Milliman MedInsight, we celebrate Juneteenth by reflecting on our shared history and recognizing the profound contributions of African Americans to our society. This day also reminds us of the ongoing journey toward equality and justice for all. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where every voice is heard and valued. Here are some ways Milliman MedInsight supports Juneteenth and promotes equality year-round: ♦ Inclusivity Training and Education: We partner with external vendors to provide comprehensive training programs that educate our team on diversity, equity, and inclusion. ♦ Monthly Coffee Hours: These informal gatherings provide a space for employees to discuss diversity-related topics and share their experiences in a supportive environment. ♦ DEI Lunch and Learns: Our quarterly lunch sessions feature speakers and workshops focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion, encouraging ongoing peer-to-peer education and dialogue. ♦ Fair Compensation Practices: We are committed to equitable pay for all employees, regularly reviewing and adjusting our compensation practices to ensure fairness. ♦ Charitable Donations: In recognition of important holidays like Juneteenth, we make charitable donations to organizations that support the African American community and promote social justice. Join us in commemorating Juneteenth and celebrating freedom and unity. #Juneteenth #DiversityAndInclusion #EqualityForAll #CelebrateFreedom #MillimanMedInsight
