Philanthropy’s Role in the Movement to Reimagine Criminal Justice

Despite the 2020 surge in philanthropic commitments to racial equity, a significant gap remains between what was promised and what’s been given. Of the funds disbursed to racial equity, few have invested in the criminal justice reform, one of the core issues that inspired the racial justice uprisings of 2020. Organizations and leaders who take a movement building approach find fundraising even more challenging.

But what role can philanthropy play when it comes to movement building?

New Bridgespan research on movement building and transforming the criminal legal system ("Making the Case: Philanthropy’s Role in the Movement to Reimagine Criminal Justice”) offers guidance to funders on how to invest resources to effect transformative change.

Join this webinar/session to:
- Gain a deeper understanding of where philanthropic resources are needed in the movement to transform criminal justice
- Understand what movement leaders need from their funders to be support their success
- Hear about the mindset and practice shifts that enable effective funding of movement leaders
