Whether you represent a foundation looking to make good decisions about your grantmaking, or you represent a nonprofit seeking to win grants, the stories in this book will give you some amazing insights into the process. These cases help you see how looking at the reasons behind problems, and funding collaborative solutions to those can really make a huge difference in people’s lives. As noted in the foreword, “Social justice philanthropy helps people gain the ability to change their own lives” (p.xiv). We’ve all been invited to learn how to empower communities to create change.
