✨December is a season of #giftgiving and with it an opportunity for us to share the various "gifts" the powerful missions our grantee partners present to the people and communities they serve. Sierra Club Foundation provides the gift of #access with experiences like this one highlighted for a group of Detroit high school students at Yosemite National Park . There are powerful #fullcirclemoments captured as Ranger Shelton Johnson who is also from Detroit connected with and educates the youth on the history of Yosemite and enjoy the great outdoors together. #equity #philanthropyinaction #environmentaljustice https://lnkd.in/gSTYEhzH

✨As a foundation that prioritizes #racialjustice and #bipocleadership we wanted to dedicated this day to supporting our Latine serving grantee partners. All throughout the year we have profiled various Hispanic led and serving non profits but on today... a day that is typically spent securing some cyber deals for this season of gift giving, we thought it would be great to encourage our community here on LinkedIn to also consider giving to Latine serving orgs on this special Lunes (translation: Monday). If you've missed any of our grantee partner profiles we've shared in the last couple weeks to plant that seed of interest, you can always scroll through our page posts to help you decide where to direct your giving. #latinelunes #philanthropyinaction #givingseason #racialjustice
