The Omidyar Network has announced the launch of a “Cultivating Repair” strategy, which will explore and support multiple seeds of repair and healing taking root in the United States.

The strategy, which is within Omidyar Network’s Building Cultures of Belonging focus area, will support a growing ecosystem of efforts to heal past and present-day harms stemming from the legacies of colonialism and slavery in the United States. Nominations are open for the initiative, which is a fiscally sponsored project of Amalgamated Foundation.

The initiative aims to strengthen infrastructure to connect organizations and communities practicing multiple approaches to repair, stretch imagination through creative expressions of how it looks and feels when healing follows harm, and support collaborative funding so the ecosystem of organizations building a culture of repair can thrive over the long term. Organizations selected to take part in the cohort will receive $100,000 in unrestricted grant support, a $10,000 wellness stipend, and cohort-driven technical assistance.
