Hard to pick just one, there are several small, doable things on the list that we could implement right away. One harder nut to crack, but important - avoid requiring convening or collaboration as a condition of funding - I bring this up because it's very Irvine

At Irvine we often aim to fund BIPOC led or serving organizations, but I see their challenges are different when they are BIPOC-led (and not only BIPOC-serving) and trying to access philanthropic funding.

Racial justice is about power and that is often missing from the conversation, so I am hoping we bring it to the forefront. Also, using racial justice could be an agreement we make for how we frame our work, not only racial equity.

Constantly thinking about how we build off what other foundations are doing (given the examples provided), but go even further in removing administrative and other burdens we place on grantees. We can bring innovation to our work and the field, just like the foundations who are using phone calls as proposals.

As we acknowledge that "structural racism affects every issue", we should explore how grantmaking processes burden grantees, especially those from smaller or underfunded organizations that are often BIPOC led. Those organizations that are lean on staff capacity, where often one or two individual are responsible for various parts of the grant writing process, could greatly benefit from a more efficient process, adjustments that would be impactful beyond BIPOC led orgs.

"Time is a key resource. A racial justice lens seeks to expand that resource rather than extract it." I see this as being a key principle for our process. How can we eliminate redundancies in our system, ease burden, and give back grantees their time?
