“Faulty.” “Problematic.” “Racist.” These terms are now regularly used to describe the foundations that the nonprofit and philanthropic systems were built upon. In this session, we will explore the relatively recent history of how these systems came to be, why they are built on deep injustices, and how nonprofits and philanthropy are actually a political and economic system. Together we’ll dive more deeply into interpersonal exploration of what Community-Centric Fundraising can look like in practice, exploring the ways in which we can step into and attempt to shift the power dynamics in service to the communities we serve.
If we do not examine how nonprofit and philanthropic systems came to be, we can never hope to reimagine them, improve them or do better, to benefit the communities we are trying to serve. This session will briefly introduce community-centric fundraising- if you want to go deeper on the topic, we invite you to join the upcoming virtual Innovation Summit on equity and community-centric fundraising.
