: To all of our WURD followers,
Global Citizen is thrilled to announce their 11th Annual Back-to-School Supplies Drive! This year’s drive will benefit the students of Rhoads Elementary School. Every year, as summer winds down, parents and guardians scramble to find the necessary supplies for a child’s success for the upcoming school year. For many families, this can be an overwhelming process of hunting for coupons and squeezing budgets.
For this, and many other reasons, Global Citizen has helped to deliver critical supplies to underserved communities for over a decade now. The drive provides an opportunity to come together as a community to provide all the necessary tools required for a quality education, for all students! This year, Radio is proud to partner with Global Citizen in this initiative– we will be taking donations at our drop-off location, the WURD Radio Station (1341 N. Delaware Ave, Ste. 300).
Once collected, all donations will head to Rhoads Elementary School in West Philadelphia. Donations will be accepted through to the END OF AUGUST! We hope you will join us in this collaborative effort to support our children through this season! ✏️📚✂️📓

Reality Check with Tonya Pendleton is live.
Three years after the nation's "racial reckoning," what has become of the groundswell of support pledged to BIPOC organizations from philanthropies? "There were some modest improvements in 2020," one expert said. "Although some funders are maintaining that commitment, some have gone back to business as usual." Read our series of articles exploring how the philanthropic world is -- or isn't -- upholding its promises to deliver greater support to Black and Brown mission-driven organizations. These articles are the final in the "Future of Work" series, a collaboration between WURD Radio's Lively-HOOD initiative and URL Media. Produced with support from the William Penn Foundation, the Lenfest Institute for Journalism and the Borealis Racial Equity in Journalism Fund, this reporting is part of the collaborative Broke in Philly: A collaborative reporting project on economic mobility, focusing on solutions to poverty and the city's push towards economic mobility.

💡 Some BIPOC-led entities saw an increase in revenues. Michael Roberts, president and CEO of the First Nations Development Institute, said his organization, which serves the Native American community in reservations and rural areas, almost doubled its revenue. All the new donations that came into the institute had a caveat – they were one-time gifts. “This is a messed up way of giving money,” he said. “You are saying to us you don’t want to build a long-term relationship.”
💡 “One can argue that the philanthropic world is embedded in racial biases more than other sectors because of natural ways on how they amassed money,” said Darren Isom, a San Francisco partner at The Bridgespan Group. “The systems and processes it took to amass that money probably is the exact opposite of what it takes to give it away.”
💡 In the Reflecting Forward report funded by United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, Philadelphia Black leaders urged funders to embrace a “trust-based philosophy,” and reimagine grantmaking by supporting Black leaders and Black-serving orgs with general operating support and unrestricted gifts.

Last Friday, Radio hosted its annual Founder’s Day celebration at the site of our future home, 3601 Haverford Ave, and it was a spectacular day from start to finish! There was so much to celebrate, and even more to be thankful for. We celebrated standing on the grounds of our future building and officially introducing ourselves to the Mantua community, we celebrated WURD’s 20th anniversary, we celebrated the legacy of Walter P. Lomax Jr., M.D., and we celebrated all of you— our loyal listeners, followers, members, and supporters, who make it all possible. Y’all are the reason why we continue to do the work that we do. ❤️🖤
Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us, thanks to every member of the WURD team for executing this all-hands-on-deck event, thank you to our speakers, vendors, performers, Community Impact Award recipients, our sponsors and our partners! 💚💛
