Chorus has always been interested in spurring deeper conversation within philanthropy about our collective vision, assumptions, and impact. Toward that end, the foundations sponsored a supplement to the Winter 2024 issue of the Stanford Social Innovation Review. 

The theme is “philanthropy and power,” and we worked with a set of brilliant authors, including: 

• Ash-Lee Henderson of the Highlander Center, 
• Nwamaka Agbo of the Kataly Foundation, 
• Sadaf Rassoul Cameron and Arianne Shaffer of the Kindle Project, 
• Mónica Córdova of the Funders’ Collaborative on Youth Organizing, 
• Alexis Frasz of Helicon, 
• Lorenzo Herrera y Lozano of Justice Funders, 
• Vivian Yi Huang of APEN, 
• Michelle Mascarenhas, former co-director of the Movement Generation Justice & Ecology Project, 
• Lisa Owens of the Hyams Foundation,  
• Aisha Shillingford of Intelligent Mischief, and 
• Aaron Tanaka of the Center for Economic Democracy. 

Farhad Ebrahimi wrote opening and closing articles that shared some of what Chorus has learned.
