Arcus Applauds Major Foundations’ Commitment to Additional Grantmaking Amid Global Pandemic

A Statement by Arcus Founder Jon Stryker and CEO Annette Lanjouw The global pandemic, social unrest, and an imperiled environment continue to threaten the wellbeing of people, nature, and economies everywhere.

A Statement on Race from Arcus Foundation

We at the Arcus Foundation join the millions of others around the world who are frustrated and shocked at the killing of George Floyd, who died last week in Minneapolis—cuffed and prone with a policeman’s knee crushing his neck. The fact that voices must again be raised to assert “Black Lives Matter” in the wake of yet another senseless death of a black man is an affront to all humanity.

LGBTQ movements grow across borders and issue areas

To build a world in which all LGBTQ people live with dignity, safety, and opportunity, activists and advocates are coming together across issues and borders. Arcus’ latest Social Justice Program grants—which were prepared before the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) became a global pandemic in March—will provide support to organizations working within ever stronger and more interconnected movements that are changing perceptions, policies, and lives.
