A CEO Blueprint for Racial Equity, PolicyLink
About
PolicyLink, FSG, JUST Capital, and Living Cities invite corporations, racial equity experts, funders, investors, and other experts to support and collaborate with us in developing guidelines that can guide businesses in analyzing their impact on racial equity. This article presents an invitation and roadmap to help companies understand and address the intended and unintended consequences of all their products, policies, and practices on people of color, and by extension, our economy and democracy. The blueprint provides actions in three key domains: 1) inside the company, 2) within the communities where the companies are headquartered and conduct business, and 3) at the broader societal level.

What’s Next for Corporate Philanthropy, Deloitte
About
Corporations are already experimenting with a range of new ideas about how to marshal their assets for impact. We are seeing a number of promising ‘Edges’ of practice emerging that may foreshadow the contours of what the new corporate philanthropy could look like. And when these Edges are particularly well aligned with broader shifts happening in the world, they have the potential to create an outsized impact on the field and how it does its work. Yet it’s hard for any one corporate leader to get a full picture of the different Edges emerging across the field. So, in 2023, Monitor Institute by Deloitte (the social impact consulting unit of Deloitte US) launched an effort to explore what’s next for corporate philanthropy. We conducted more than 30 interviews with corporate philanthropy leaders across industries, as well as advisors, grantees, and other experts on the topic. These interviews, combined with lessons from our work advising corporate philanthropy leaders over the past decade and our recent research, What’s Next for Philanthropy in the 2020s, have allowed us to develop a broad mosaic of perspectives about the current state of the field and where it might be headed over the rest of the decade.

Podcast | Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life, PolicyLink
About
Democracy isn't dead. It just needs to be reimagined so that all of us can flourish. To think big, we're going to have to go granular to the city level - and that city is LA. We will look at how Los Angeles is striving to be a multiracial democracy and what lessons we can apply to the rest of the nation. Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life is a podcast hosted by Angela Glover Blackwell, which aims to infuse some hope into one of the founding principles of the United States.
