Why we funded
- POWER successfully mobilizes people and organizations to change hearts, minds and policies on issues of justice, race and inequality. Fels has funded their advocacy for fair and equitable education and for cash bail reform
- They root their work in an analysis of how racism underpinning systems and institutions over time has led us to this moment, and they work across faiths and communities to right these wrongs
