A Pivot to Power: Lessons from The California Endowment’s Building Healthy Communities about Place, Health, and Philanthropy offers a mid-initiative assessment of TCE’s 10-year investment in building “people power” capacity in 14 diverse communities.
The report is based on surveys from grantees funded to organize in one or more of the 14 sites receiving grants through BHC and interviews with organizers, funders, intermediaries, and academics.
The data is clear: There is evidence of increased capacity in BHC places to organize people who are usually excluded from the policymaking process such as documented and undocumented immigrants, young people, formerly incarcerated individuals, and LGBTQ individuals.
