Confronting questions of systemic racism and the fallout from a pandemic requires a look inward at the practices, policies, structures, mindsets, and cultural norms that govern how foundations operate. The experience of The California Endowment and the James Irvine Foundation shows what can be learned from this period of crisis and disruption. This article illustrates how each funder used the iconic iceberg model as a tool to move beyond surface-level responses to explore eight tangible, equity-focused changes in the way they practice philanthropy. This article also reflects on what it takes to shift norms, structures, and power in ways that lead to equitable outcomes and embed equity throughout an organization - and what gets in the way.
面对系统性种族主义问题和流行病的后果,需要向内审视支配基金会运作的做法、政策、结构、思维方式和文化规范。加州基金会(The California Endowment)和詹姆斯·欧文基金会(James Irvine Foundation)的经历表明,我们可以从这段危机和混乱的时期中学到什么。本文阐述了每位资助者如何将标志性的冰山模型作为一种工具,超越表面的反应,探索他们践行慈善事业方式中八个有形的、以股权为重点的变化。本文还思考了如何改变规范、结构和权力,从而产生公平的结果,并在整个组织中嵌入公平——以及阻碍因素。

Serving as an intermediary between donors and a wide variety of regional causes they support, the foundation provides philanthropy and civic leadership to address community challenges. Since Hurricane Katrina devastated the region in August 2005, the foundation has become a recognized expert in philanthropic response to disasters, lauded for the strategic principles underlying deployment of its standing Disaster Response and Restoration Fund and broader disaster response framework (Greater New Orleans Foundation, 2022b).

According to Easterling, these foundations acting as community leaders go beyond traditional grantmaking to convene diverse stakeholders and catalyze cross-sector solutions to community challenges.

[...]community foundations might take advantage of brief opportunities created by disasters to address otherwise entrenched deficits and disparities facing their communities, introducing largescale social innovations which might in turn enhance community resilience (Westley, 2013).
作为捐助者和他们支持的各种地区事业之间的中介,该基金会提供慈善和公民领导,以应对社区挑战。自2005年8月卡特里娜飓风摧毁该地区以来,该基金会已成为公认的灾难慈善应对专家,因其常设灾难应对和恢复基金以及更广泛的灾难应对框架的战略原则而受到称赞(Greater New Orleans foundation, 2022b)。[…该市及其周边地区经历了联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)的16次灾难声明,包括在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间创纪录的2020年季节的三次飓风(FEMA, 2021a;国家海洋重点*灾害为慈善事业创造了公平重建的机会,可以优先考虑最脆弱的社区成员,并在恢复阶段解决现有的差距和结构性不平等。伊斯特林表示,这些基金会作为社区领导者,超越了传统的资助方式,召集了不同的利益相关者,并推动了针对社区挑战的跨部门解决方案。[…]在BP石油泄漏事件期间,大新奥尔良基金会向国会施压,要求修改公民参与条款,并为提供联邦救济的“恢复法案”中的不可预见问题永久预留资金(Barry et al., 2012)。[…社区基金会可能会利用灾难带来的短暂机会来解决社区面临的根深蒂固的赤字和差距,引入大规模的社会创新,这反过来可能会增强社区的复原力(Westley, 2013)。

Like other philanthropic organizations during the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Jim Joseph Foundation took steps to loosen grant requirements, support CEOs and leadership teams, and provide funding for emergencies and innovations. Another area that required flexibility was in the re-examination of learning plans to take advantage of the "forced experimentation" imposed by the pandemic lockdown. In March 2020, the foundation paused ongoing research and evaluation projects to determine the extent to which the pandemic and economic crisis would impact the quality of the data, and then crafted new learning questions and plans to take advantage of the opportunities in the moment. It pivoted to redeploy resources to assess how the internal foundation team responded to the crisis, how grantees pivoted to online programming, and how the crisis and online programming were experienced by target populations.
