Abstract

ABSTRACT Institutional Philanthropy has the opportunity to rethink its role and build trust and deeply engage with communities beyond grantmaking in minority communities in the United States. The global pandemic highlights inequalities in the United States from health inequality to social inequalities. Institutional philanthropy can focus on doing more than giving money; organization leaders and program staff can deliberately engage and listen to communities and the public to drive systems change. This commentary examines the role of philanthropic foundations and philanthropic support organizations regarding advocacy, public policy and community listening when philanthropy has been asked to step up to deliver increased funding given the increases in COVID-19 cases and deaths in minority communities in light of the toll the pandemic has taken on minority communities, the unjust death of George Floyd and others and the Black Lives Matters movement. Philanthropic foundation leaders are faced with “the fierce urgency of now” to change organizational behavior from the relational to meaningful community engagement and social cohesion.
转变慈善参与:在2019冠状病毒病全球大流行和黑人生命重要的时代,从资助转向审议
机构慈善有机会重新思考其角色,在美国少数族裔社区建立信任并深入参与社区。全球流行病凸显了美国从健康不平等到社会不平等的不平等。慈善机构可以专注于做更多的事,而不是捐钱;组织领导和项目人员可以有意识地参与并听取社区和公众的意见,以推动系统变革。鉴于新冠肺炎疫情给少数族裔社区造成的损失、乔治·弗洛伊德等人的不公正死亡以及“黑人的命也是命”运动,少数族裔社区的COVID-19病例和死亡人数不断增加,慈善基金会和慈善支持组织被要求加大提供更多资金的力度,本评论探讨了慈善基金会和慈善支持组织在宣传、公共政策和社区倾听方面的作用。慈善基金会领导人面临着将组织行为从关系型转变为有意义的社区参与和社会凝聚力的“迫切需要”。
