National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy;

In light of the national uprising sparked by the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor (and building on other recent tragic movement moments going back to the 2014 murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri), NCRP is analyzing grantmaking by community foundations across the country to find out exactly how much they are – or are not – investing in Black communities.We started by looking at the latest available grantmaking data (2016-2018) of 25 community foundations (CFs) – from Los Angeles to New Orleans to New York City to St. Paul. These foundations represent a cross section of some of the country's largest community foundations as well as foundations in communities where NCRP has Black-led nonprofit allies.

When Men Murder Women: An Analysis of 2017 Homicide Data

When Men Murder Women: An Analysis of 2017 Homicide Data

2019-09-01

Violence Policy Center;

The U.S. Department of Justice has found that women are far more likely to be the victims of violent crimes committed by intimate partners than men, especially when a weapon is involved. Moreover, women are much more likely to be victimized at home than in any other place.This study provides a stark reminder that domestic violence and guns make a deadly combination. According to reports submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), firearms are rarely used to kill criminals or stop crimes. Instead, they are all too often used to inflict harm on the very people they were intended to protect.

Hunger in America 2010 Georgia State Report

2010-02-01

Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest);

This report presents information on the clients and agencies in the state of Georgia. The information is drawn from a national study, Hunger in America 2010, conducted in 2009 for Feeding America (FA) (formerly America's Second Harvest), the nation's largest organization of emergency food providers. The national study is based on completed in-person interviews with more than 62,000 clients served by the FA national network, as well as on completed questionnaires from more than 37,000 FA agencies. The study summarized below focuses on emergency food providers and their clients who are supplied with food by food banks in the FA network.Key Findings:The FA system in Georgia provides emergency food for an estimated 1,143,700 different people annually.34% of the members of client households in Georgia are children under 18 years old (Table 5.3.2).29% of client households include at least one employed adult (Table 5.7.1). Among client households with children, 71% are food insecure and 26% are food insecure with very low food security (Table 6.1.1.1).39% of clients in Georgia report having to choose between paying for food and paying for utilities or heating fuel (Table 6.5.1). 30% had to choose between paying for food and paying for medicine or medical care (Table 6.5.1).25% of client households in Georgia report having at least one household member in poor health (Table 8.1.1)At the administration of this survey, 8 food banks or FROs affiliated with FA operated in Georgia. Of the agencies that were served by those organizations, 1,191 agencies that had their operation within the state responded to the agency survey. Of the responding agencies, 934 had at least one food pantry, soup kitchen, or shelter.82% of pantries, 71% of kitchens, and 51% of shelters are run by faith-based agencies affiliated with churches, mosques, synagogues, and other religious organizations (Table 10.6.1).Among programs that existed in 2006, 79% of pantries, 73% of kitchens, and 49% of shelters in Georgia reported that there had been an increase since 2006 in the number of clients who come to their emergency food program sites (Table 10.8.1).Food banks are by far the single most important source of food for agencies with emergency food providers, accounting for 79% of the food distributed by pantries, 56% of the food distributed by kitchens, and 35% of the food distributed by shelters (Table 13.1.1).As many as 91% of pantries, 86% of kitchens, and 77% of shelters in Georgia use volunteers (Table 13.2.1).
