An article in Nonprofit Quarterly that encourages progressive organizations across all movements to speak out for a ceasefire and end to genocide in Gaza, including a discussion of funder backlash and reccommendations to follow the strategies of the Funding Freedom report.
In November 2022, Solidaire Action Network published “Funding Freedom: Philanthropy and the Palestinian Freedom Movement.” The report is the first comprehensive look at the barriers to healthy and sustainable funding for organizations that support Palestinain rights, as well as proposed tools and strategies to address them. It offers funders a roadmap for creating the conditions to give sustainably, consistently, and without doing harm. The Funding Freedom project was born from this report.
In December 2022, the Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP) and Funding Freedom Governance Committee member Sarah Anne Minkin interviewed Funding Freedom Co-Director Rebecca Vilkomerson on the FMEP podcast “Occupied Thoughts,” about the writing of the Funding Freedom Report.
In February 2023, Funding Freedom Co-Director Rebecca Vilkomerson and Founder Deborah Sagner co-authored “Rethinking Philanthropy in the Fight for Palestinian Liberation” in +972 Magazine.
