Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors Partners with Lumina Foundation to Address Racism on College Campuses
The Lumina Foundation has announced grants totaling $2.5 million in support of community-building efforts designed to promote understanding, tolerance, and healing on college and university campuses. The foundation also will partner with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors to invest $1 million in a national study of the racial climate on campuses and provide leadership grants of up to $100,000 to colleges and universities that have made significant efforts to improve educational equity and advance anti-racism education on their campuses, and award smaller grants to help schools improve or expand their plans for campuswide engagements that promote racial justice.
