CIVIC ENGAGEMENT NONPROFITS SAY DEMOCRACY NEEDS SUPPORT IN BETWEEN BIG ELECTIONS. DO FUNDERS AGREE?

👉 The Southern Coalition for Social Justice is a nonprofit law group that works to protect the rights of Southern voters of color.
👉 The group faces funding challenges due to the cyclical nature of philanthropic support.
👉 Many funders only provide support during election years, leaving nonprofits like the Southern Coalition for Social Justice to struggle to sustain their work during the off-years.
👉 The group's senior counsel, Mitchell Brown, believes that this is a critical issue, as there are many changes that occur in between presidential elections that require constant support.
👉 The group has benefited from a progressive philanthropic network that is working to reverse this trend.
