Community Action Plan on Philanthropy

Addressing the Needs of Diverse and Grassroots Nonprofit Organizations in California

The Community Action Plan on Philanthropy is Greenlining’s first attempt to summarize the feedback we received from 300 community leaders in multiple convenings held across California on issues related to philanthropic support for minority nonprofits.

This report contains five sections. The first section, entitled Guiding Principles, describes the common feedback we received from community leaders regarding the framework that should exist when considering issues related to equity in philanthropy. The second section describes the Capacity Building needs of nonprofits. The third section discusses issues related to Core Operating Support and the need for constant investments and partnerships in minority-led organizations. The fourth section describes the Capacity Building Needs of Foundations and the necessary changes that must occur in the foundation world to achieve greater effectiveness in reaching diverse communities. The final section includes a summary of specific Recommendations for foundations to consider.
