What does the nonprofit sector look like in 2025?

💡 According to Lakai Newman of Candid @candiddotorg, it looks like collective action, transparency, and community over competition.

In a recap of major philanthropic conferences this year, Newman highlights a clear shift toward abundance thinking, cross-sector collaboration, open data, and stronger support for Black-led organizations. In a time of political and economic pressure, leaders are choosing solidarity instead of silence.

⚖ The 15th Amendment: The right to vote cannot be denied or restricted on the basis of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

The amendment was passed by Congress in February 1869, ratified on February 3, 1870, and proclaimed on March 30, 1870.

As the third and final Reconstruction Amendment adopted after the Civil War, it was intended to secure political power for formerly enslaved Black men during Reconstruction.

🔴 The Loophole: While it outlawed racial discrimination in voting, it did not prevent states from creating literacy tests, poll taxes, grandfather clauses, and other barriers that effectively suppressed Black voters for decades.

🐶 As less than two percent of the veterinary population is of the Black and Brown diaspora, there is a strong need to address the reasons for, as well as improve this deficit.

With concern, CARE initiated the Dr. Jodie G. Blackwell Scholarship Fund in February 2020. Supported by partners and like-minded organizations, CARE hosts events designed to raise funds and bring additional awareness to this shortage.

🎓 These funds were collected specifically to lessen the financial burden of veterinary school costs for BIPOC students.

⚖ The 14th Amendment: All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens and are guaranteed due process and equal protection of the laws.

The amendment was approved by Congress in June 1866, ratified on July 9, 1868, and proclaimed on July 28, 1868. It was the second of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted after the Civil War and was designed to secure citizenship and legal equality for formerly enslaved people.

🔴 The Loophole: While it declared all citizens equal, it permitted “separate but equal” to stand for nearly sixty years — and allowed states to strip voting rights from people convicted of crimes.
