In this article by Jacqueline Patterson, Founder and Executive Director of The Chisholm Legacy Project: A Resource Hub for Black Frontline Climate Justice Leadership, Jacqui examines the lack of funding from foundations and outreach in federal initiatives in reaching and supporting rural Black communities in the United States. Despite federal initiatives like Justice40 and the significant funds available through social justice philanthropy, these communities often remain overlooked. “Social justice philanthropy spends billions of dollars every year to improve the wellbeing of communities, people, and the planet. While these resources have done a lot of good in a lot of places, they have largely failed to reach the communities in deepest need.”

If we are to create a stronger conservation movement, we must start with retaining talented leaders who can share solutions with the sector. “...Retaining talent, understanding our different lived experiences, and making space for us to lead is critical to create a more inclusive and stronger conservation movement. I’m rolling up my sleeves and working that much harder with others to create community networks like the Alliance for Indigenous Environmental Stewardship (AIES) where we support people who are working on Indigenous conservation efforts.” — Starlyn Miller, Native Lands Partnership Director, The Wilderness Society.
