philanthropy, raise the bar: divest from genocide and invest in life in Palestine and beyond

The urgency of this moment cannot be overstated. We are witnessing ongoing genocides and mass displacement in Palestine, Sudan, and beyond—crises that are not isolated, but interconnected. This calls for collective, sustained, and courageous action.

Philanthropy must take a stand—and we must raise the bar. Divest from genocide, invest in life.

Philanthropy, Raise the Bar: Divest from Genocide and Invest in Life in Palestine and Beyond focuses on addressing philanthropy’s complicity in genocide and systemic violence, and lifts up concrete practices that support deeper accountability: strategies for divesting from harm, investing in the life-giving work of Palestinian-led organizations, and organizing collectively across the sector to align our resources and practices with our commitments to justice and liberation.
