As we continue to spread the word about the Virginia Community Engagement Index (VCEI), we want to thank the diverse group of individuals and organizations who made this work possible, including AmeriCorps and Points of Light! During the process of building the VCEI, we recruited a Core Team of partners representing 38 diverse public, private, and nonprofit organizations across Virginia to help us identify what the VCEI needed to be. The central questions we set out to uncover were, “Who are Virginia’s community volunteers and civically engaged residents? What do they care about? Where and how are they engaging? And why?” Together, we developed a study that could help us better understand the degree to which service, volunteerism, and civic engagement is a strength in our communities, and how to continue to build and leverage that strength.

Across PWF’s nine jurisdictions, there have been both significant steps forward and troubling steps back in the fight to catalyze a transformative approach to justice that is community-led, restorative, and racially just. The ebb and flow may slow us down. It may cause us to regroup. But it doesn’t stop our march onward. #Philanthropy #CommunityInvestment #Community #RestorativeJustice #TransformativeJustice

New piece in Philanthropy News Digest on the new Funding Guide on Faith and Democracy from Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE)! Here's a quote: "It would be difficult to imagine scaling a pro-democracy movement without engaging America’s faith communities, given that half of philanthropy and volunteering is done in religious contexts. Faith spaces are often where compassionate social and political movements begin." Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gF-YEDZc
