Shelley Trott, Executive Director, shares how the moment we are in sets the stage for a “Third Founding” that centers human dignity, agency and possibility.
The Foundation’s $4 million Response Fund allowed for nimble, timely and strategic giving as we galvanized to support our communities and protect and defend human rights.
The Kenneth Rainin Foundation joined over 160 foundations across the country in signing a statement condemning acts of political violence, attempts to exploit that violence to mischaracterize the good work of philanthropy and attacks on our fundamental freedoms.
In this time of great need, it is critical that nonprofits and foundations maintain the freedom to give without government interference. We invite funders to join the Unite in Advance coalition.
We are pleased to welcome Liz O’Malley, Director of Arts Strategy & Ventures; Patrick Taylor, Grants Manager; and Carissa Ibert, Grants Associate.
Unified action to protect our democracy is critical. We support the right to speak out, to gather peacefully and to champion causes we believe in.
We’ve joined foundations across the nation who are uniting to uphold the fundamental rights and liberties we all deserve and need to thrive.
The threats made during the campaign are real and upon us and we must protect the most vulnerable among us.
Shelley Trott reflects on her journey, her aspirations for the Foundation and the influences that have shaped her leadership.
At the Rainin Foundation, our vision remains steadfast, and in the face of division, we will lean into our mission more than ever.
