-
Mobilizing Abundant Resources
We invest in organizations that accelerate the reparations movement & co-create grantmaking strategies with practitioners in the field.
- Since 2021, we have moved $6.5M to 40+ organizations. The organizations we fund are led by people of all races, and demonstrate accountability to Black communities.
- LV’s approach to grantmaking is relational, streamlined, & designed to lift as much of the burden as possible – we opt for calls and collaborations instead of proposals and reports.

Spreading Irresistible Narratives
We build narrative power by amplifying the stories of our movement, and framing reparations as the issue of our time.

- Together with 13 movement leaders, we co-created a narrative schema and report There Are New Suns: Building A Transformative Narrative for Black Reparations as an invitation to support the movement in carrying forth a transformative narrative about reparations that can continue to push the conversation forward.
- We create and disseminate narrative research and tools through webinars, events, and tailored support to organizations in the movement.
