Topic Guides

In 2022, we published eight in-depth guides exploring how inequitable and racist systems affect every issue donors care about. Richly illustrated and rigorously researched, our topic guides are intended to help donors invest in community-led solutions for the long term.

Health

From prevention to policy, philanthropy can help improve the lives of all people through better health. Our donor guides are intended to provide donors with a deeper understanding of the issues related to the U.S. healthcare system and outline opportunities to address the root causes of inequitable outcomes.

Criminal Justice

30% of all incarcerated women worldwide are in the U.S.

The U.S. has 5% of the world’s population, but holds almost 25% of the world’s prisoners. The racial makeup in our prisons is also disproportionate. Our donor guides are intended to help donors gain a deeper understanding of the U.S. criminal justice system and outline opportunities to address the root causes of inequitable outcomes.

Environment

Around 13 million people could be forced inland in the U.S. due to the rising sea levels expected by 2100.

From clean air and water, to conservation and climate change, protecting the environment has implications for the health and survival of all living creatures. Our guide helps donors gain a deeper understanding of the issues related to the ocean and environment and outlines opportunities to address the negative impacts of climate change on marginalized communities.
