Allies In Action Membership Network Announces 2nd Annual Allies Give Campaign

NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Allies in Action Membership Network announces the second annual Allies Give effort. Allies in Action was established in 2020 by Yolanda F. Johnson, as an organization for white allies who want to support women of color in the nonprofit sector and further their work as allies towards racial and gender equity. As part of the Allies in Action pledge*, they provide financial support to this end through Allies Give, a year-end giving initiative. This year's area of focus is organizations who support communities of color. Johnson remarked, "I am proud of our Allies community, who endeavor to drive systemic change to workplace policies, practices, and culture, by giving these donations to organizations committed to those same goals."

If a non-profit organization fits this parameter, they can fill out the application here to [email protected] to be considered for donations from Allies Give 2021. Applications are due November 12 by 5PM ET. YFJ Consulting facilitates these donations by identifying qualifying organizations and assessing them on the extent of their commitment to inclusion and equity. Selected organizations are ranked in a special philanthropic portfolio for the entire Allies in Action community to use as a giving guide.

The top three organizations this year will each receive a $1,000 award from YFJ Philanthropies in addition to being included in the recommended giving portfolio. A virtual holiday gathering on December 1 will be held to explain the program and examine some of the options available before the portfolio is published later in the month.
