One of the biggest things I took away from our last class meeting was the need for funders to consider the existing needs in nonprofits and to simply put forth the money to support whatever that intent might be in a specific organization. With that in mind, of the five listed here I support contributing to the Philadelphia Black History Collaborative or the Fund for School District of Philadelphia.
Both of these organizations have a clear mission and project already in motion which our funds could help support. I especially think that funding these organizations would hold a significant community impact. The Black History Collaborative could continue supporting Black History education in schools, and the Fund for the School District of Philadelphia acts to develop additional programs in schools.
If the idea is to cede authority of this money over to the nonprofits in question, rather than proposing new (and admittedly brilliant) projects, then these are the two of these five organizations I would support.
