Donate or create a campaign for our third annual #GiveFTFDay, 24 hours of online giving for Forward Through Ferguson that begins at 12PM CT on Thursday, September 21, 2023 and goes until 12PM CT on Friday, September 22, 2023.

Racial equity and racial justice organizations are notoriously underfunded. According to Mismatched: Philanthropy’s Response to the Call for Racial Justice, in 2018, the last year for which fully complete grants data are available, only 6 percent of philanthropic dollars supported racial equity work and only 1 percent supported racial justice work.

Help us advance Racial Equity by participating in #GiveFTFDay.

Embracing the Ferguson Commission’s mandate, Forward Through Ferguson centers impacted communities and mobilizes accountable bodies to advance racially equitable systems and policies that ensure all people in the St. Louis region can thrive.

This year, we...

1) Shared new community-based research, engaged most-impacted residents, and amplified stories as part of our #Transforming911 Advocacy Tool release,

2) Uplifted community power and decision-making by supporting the Community Governance Board of the Racial Healing + Justice Fund as they invested $800,000 in 42 Black and Brown-led initiatives,

3) Worked in partnership to strengthen local and national Racial Equity infrastucture by planning conferences like Roots & Remedies 2023 and Racial Equity Summit 2023 and supporting coalitions that advance prosecutor accountability and honest elections.

4) …and more!
