Many people would like to talk about the impact of racism—and the need for racial healing—but don’t know where to start. The goal of the fifth annual National Day of Racial Healing, hosted by the W.K.

The California Wellness Foundation’s latest round of grants supports visionary Black-led and Black-empowering organizations, and statewide nonprofits working at the intersection of public policy, health equity and racial justice. Grants will support organizations addressing barriers to health and wellness in historically underinvested communities, including people of color, formerly incarcerated and homeless people, immigrants, women, and people with disabilities.

The disproportionate public health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on certain communities, along with nationwide protests against police violence and racial injustice, have intensified the calls for foundations to focus on equity and reckon with anti-Black racism in a deeper way than they had before.

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has launched Expanding Equity, a new program to transform corporate workplaces into more equitable places of opportunity.
