Do you know someone who would loan you $3,000 in an emergency? 72% of white families said yes, compared to 41% of Black families. This leaves the latter exposed to and reliant on lenders with exploitative interest rates. Devin Murphy and Zachary Slobig of The Bridgespan Group, explore how one of the drivers of the racial wealth gap is the disproportionate debts, fees, and fines placed on communities of color. But philanthropy can change this. They share how interventions like Stable Home Fund and Esusu help these communities get relief from debt and build credit.

Are nonprofits trusted? What about when it comes to handling innovation and technology? This report explores these questions and more. The 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer investigates the influence of trust across government, media, business, and nongovernmental organizations. Here are some of the major findings from this year's report: 1. Respondents in over half the countries surveyed don't trust nonprofits to do what is right. 2. NGOs are seen as more ethical than business, media, or government. 3. Low-income respondents don’t trust institutions to integrate innovation into society. 4. Two in five respondents say innovation is poorly managed. 5. Listening to the public is essential to earning trust in NGOs. Explore these highlights and get access to the full report on Candid insights.

LGBTQIA+ grantmaking has grown in the last two decades from nearly $30M to $258M. But this doesn't tell the whole story (which is less optimistic). April Bethea, director of external affairs, and Samantha Luffy, MPH, director of research for Funders for LGBTQ Issues, share the impact of inflation on how far these dollars go and how funders can work collaboratively to fill in this funding gap.

Here is a hint: it's not making your best guess. Kelly Brown, founder and CEO of Viewpoint Consulting, highlights the importance of collecting this information in an inclusive and respectful way and how valuable this data can be.

Funders can unintentionally limit the impact of nonprofits by funding them to serve only a specific group or set of activities. Tackling root causes requires a different, more flexible approach. Beth Huang, program officer at the Tides Foundation, shares how investing in community organizing and giving organizations flexibility to shift to new strategies are key.
