Monday, June 26, 2023

12:00PM - 1:00PM ET

Fundación Comunitaria de Puerto Rico was established in 1985 to develop the capacity of communities to achieve social and economic transformation by stimulating community philanthropic investments. The program is an expansion of Taller Salud’s Acuerdo de Paz (Peace Accord), Puerto Rico’s only tertiary community violence prevention program. The Foundation’s goals are divided across six strategic initiatives: (1) Food and Water, (2) Energy and Environment, (3) Housing, (4) Education, (5) Economic Development, and (6) Philanthropy.

Their objectives include the reduction of contacts with the justice system; increasing the number of young people with High School Certificates; and increasing the number of youth who are involved in legal income activities. 

The application deadline is June 6th!

ABFE has partnered with the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation to support community foundation efforts to become more deliberate in their work to advance racial equity in their communities. Participating community foundations will receive focused racial equity trainings for community foundation staff, senior leadership, and trustees equipping them with the shared knowledge, skills, and tools to better understand the foundations of race, racism, and racial equity.

If you missed the first virtual Q&A session, please watch the recording here.

The ABFE Corporate Community of Practice (ABFE-CCOP) is designed to support

Corporate Philanthropic Professionals as they advocate for Black communities within the context of their roles and positions of influence.

During Harambee, ABFE hosted a corporate pre-conference reception where attendees engaged with one another and re-imagined corporate philanthropy from a racial equity and racial justice framework. Our goal is to launch an exclusive Corporate Community of Practice for Black philanthropy colleagues that supports ongoing peer-learning, builds competency around sector issues and equity frameworks, and supports institutional outcomes. 

ABFE would like to engage our Black corporate philanthropy colleagues for this opportunity. Please use this survey to quickly note your interest in moving forward with this network and share the contact information of other Black corporate philanthropy colleagues that may find this offering of benefit to them and their work. 

Please note, this offering is exclusive to corporate funders who do grantmaking. 

In 2010, we crafted one of philanthropy’s first racial equity frameworks that specifically addresses the role of the sector in supporting and advancing strategic investments in Black communities. The Responsive Philanthropy in Black Communities(c) framework includes workshops and tools designed to increase investments of grant making entities, develop collective giving models, and support donors in doing their work more equitably.
