As we recognize the twentieth anniversary of 9/11 and mourn for the lives lost, we also reflect on the baseless and misdirected harms and injustices experienced by Black, African, Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (BAMEMSA) communities as a result of that day. We are reaffirming our commitment to these communities and asking philanthropic partners to join us in pledging to help raise $50 million over the next five years to support them.
Recognizing the immense challenges and complexities of creating lasting change, we embrace collaborative work, bringing progressive funders together with the most effective grassroots leaders across the country.
Our donor collaboratives bring funders and movement leaders together to achieve collective goals.
We champion equal rights - and go beyond, to empower communities leading social movements for systemic change. For us, social justice is about creating opportunities for everyone to have a voice, accelerating grassroots leadership, and protecting and expanding fundamental rights and liberties. It is this force for change that will secure a future of equality, inclusiveness and democracy.
Proteus is the full-service philanthropic organization, ready to act as a strategic partner to funders and operational ally for progressive movements. We're built to help you pursue your vision for a better world with robust operational support, grantmaking expertise, and communities of like-minded partners.
