Testimonials

Funder Brief Participant 

“Cross organizational collaboration between funder organizing entities is so important — it allows us to understand what is unique to each institution and what is important for us to leverage together. Being in deep experimentation, bringing funder bases together, and intertwining our approaches allows us to progress and see where we land. It is important to share our stories and models, to share with folks how we got there, and to find more of our partners in social justice philanthropy. Feeling excited to stay connected!”

FCYO Advisory Board Member

“I appreciate the approach of the Youth Power Pledge – it set the stage for funders to initially join the conversation around youth organizing through a check, and then through the relationships they were able to form from giving, they were able to gain an understanding of FCYO’s approach in seeing funders as co-conspirators for movement work. Ultimately, this perhaps set the stage for funders to go beyond that and see themselves as political workers too.”
