iF, A Foundation for Radical Possibility
Commissioned and funded by iF and developed by the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP), Cracks in the Foundation: Philanthropy’s Role in Reparations for Black People in the DMV harnesses both quantitative and qualitative research from publicly available information to illuminate the ways in which Black people have been exploited to build philanthropic wealth.
At iF, A Foundation for Radical Possibility, we envision a world where Black people and people of the global majority live powerfully, abundantly and beautifully in healthy, self-determined communities free of social, economic and ideological violence.
Community Power
Providing the resources - financial and otherwise - to build and sustain the people’s power to demand and achieve justice.
Culture
Shifting narratives about anti-black racism and its ill impacts on society and creating new narratives that center the voices of people who live at the sharpest intersection of systems of oppression such as race, class and gender identity.
Healing Justice
Creating spaces and practices that prioritize rest, rejuvenation, resilience and healing from the spectrum of systemic and interpersonal harms.
Institutions & Structures
Disrupting institutions and structures that perpetuate anti-black racism and other intersectional discriminatory harms.
Reparations & Economic Justice
Supporting economic justice movements, including the movement to pay reparations to Black people who are owed a debt as a result of historic and contemporary racial harms.
