We invest in organizations that accelerate the reparations movement & co-create grantmaking strategies with practitioners in the field.

• Since 2021, we have moved $6.5M to 40+ organizations, majority Black-led.
  
• LV’s approach to grantmaking is relational, streamlined, & designed to lift as much of the burden as possible – we opt for calls and collaborations instead of proposals and reports.
  
• Learn more about our 2022 and 2023 movement partners.

We build narrative power by amplifying the stories of our movement, and framing reparations as the issue of our time.

• The Reparations Narrative Lab is a research hub focused on building public support for reparations by supporting organizers and organizations in crafting and shaping narrative and cultural strategies. Learn more about our approach to building narrative power.
  
• Together with 13 movement leaders, we co-created a narrative schema and report There Are New Suns: Building A Transformative Narrative for Black Reparations as an invitation to support the movement in carrying forth a transformative narrative about reparations that can continue to push the conversation forward.
  
• We create and disseminate narrative research and tools through webinars, events, and tailored support to organizations in the movement.

We build capacity and connective tissue that nourishes the reparations movement to achieve a new paradigm of collective impact.

• We support movement partners with non-financial resources related to fundraising, communications, strategic planning, research, healing, and more.
  
• We develop knowledge to support the entire field through research on public opinion and other topics.
  
• We purposefully convene and connect people across the movement – to opportunities and each other.
