This episode spotlights how one foundation has made an ongoing commitment to supporting “healing justice” as part of its grantmaking. We're pleased to speak with Desiree Flores, Executive Director of the General Service Foundation.
As they say on the Foundation's website, "Social justice work can be affirming, invigorating, and nourishing. But for leaders in the struggle, the work can also be rife with conflict, overwork, isolation, trauma, and oppression...we have heard movement leaders struggling increasingly with burnout and exhaustion. At GSF, we’ve been exploring how we, as funders, can support movements in creating space to cultivate resilience, wholeness, and well-being among the individuals and organizations that comprise our movements."
Toward that end, since 2018 General Service Foundation has funded healing justice work in two ways:
- Supporting organizations that offer healing and resilience services and trainings to social justice leaders and organizations, and
- Supporting the Foundation's grant partners (aka grantees) with healing justice stipends.
This is the third in our three-episode series called "How Funders Can Support Nonprofit Workers in the Age of Burnout."
This episode and the series it's a part of are based on Fund the People's presentation at the Center for Effective Philanthropy Conference in Fall of 2023. Our session focused on how funders can support nonprofit workers in the age of burnout. Thanks again to CEP for including us in the conference.
