The Association of Black Foundation Executives (ABFE) and Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) recently announced that three community partnerships will receive small grants and technical support to convene local donors, grantmakers, and nonprofit leaders to discuss issues affecting Black and Latino communities across the country.
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 5, 2006 -- The Association of Black Foundation Executives (ABFE) and Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) recently announced that three community partnerships will receive small grants and technical support to convene local donors, grantmakers, and nonprofit leaders to discuss issues affecting Black and Latino communities across the country. Dialogues in Chicago, Denver, and Atlanta are scheduled to begin in the summer of 2006 and occur throughout 2007. ABFE and HIP expect to announce grant support for additional communities next year.
These convenings are part of the ABFE/HIP Initiative – a recently launched, multi-year project of ABFE and HIP that seeks to raise awareness about the role that philanthropy can play in targeting resources to high-priority issues disproportionately affecting Blacks and Latinos in the United States. Ricardo Millet, ABFE board member and member of the HIP Leadership Council, agrees with the new direction of the initiative. “Strategically, it makes sense to focus our efforts and resources on the local level. This is where the relationship between philanthropy and our communities is strongest.” "
