Derailed – Rising Attacks and Retreating Resources for Racial Justice
In 2020, many foundations and corporations made big shows of support for racial justice in response to George Floyd’s murder and the subsequent uprisings.
Five years later, funding for communities of color has slid back more than a
decade—not only erasing the spike in 2020, but also undoing much of the slow
but steady progress made for racial justice funding in the years before that. PRE’s
forthcoming report reveals that funding for communities of color has fallen back
below the low percentage of overall grantmaking captured in 2011–2014.
