The EITC Funders Network’s mission includes advancing equitable economic opportunity. As a nation we cannot achieve economic equity and opportunity without racial equity and justice. We stand united with those calling for the systemic reforms necessary to end structural racism, and deepen our commitment to showing up, speaking out, and doing the work.
