                "description": "The philanthropic sector has been tied to the nonprofit sector since its inception. Foundation staff hold immense influence on the waysnonprofits are seen, how they grow, and whether they flourish. In the effort to get resources to promising efforts, foundations and philanthropicserving organizations struggle to keep their lenses focused on community voices, identifying systemic blind spots, and collecting best practices forphilanthropic success. At the same time, nonprofit leaders, particularly those working from the margins of the United States, have developed best practices through innovation, collaboration, and participatory learning. Community level challenges, inadequate resources, leadership isolation, and othersystemic barriers to equity remain constant challenges. Nonprofit and philanthropic leaders, as individuals, organizations, or collaborativeefforts, need resources to strengthen their efforts and the communities they serve."
