Does anyone read nonprofit AF? There piece this week spoke to me. As noted in the article, I wonder the TAMA members perception of this statement: “Foundations do not deserve this much power to shape the field—that right should go to the people and communities most affected by systemic injustice—and yet they possess it. Minimizing the power and influence that foundations wield helps to maintain those dynamics while increasing complacency and reducing foundations’ urgency to reexamine their practices in the sector.”
I totally agree, and I guess feel there is a a ton of advocacy work to be done focused on funders.

One of the challenges of our profession is that there is very little data about who we are, what we do and where we are working. Without a documentable presence, it’s difficult to advocate for funding and policies that benefit our work. Your profile will both help promote your work individually and it will help us aggregate data for our region. As you fill in the blanks below, you will have a choice as to who is allowed to see some of the information. Please note that the “Just Me” option does allow TAMA administration to see what you’ve entered. For example, when you enter your phone number, you can prevent that from appearing in your profile if you like, but TAMA administration can see it.
