Topics We Explored:

  • While giving money is a big part of philanthropy, the definition extends to giving our full selves to help our neighbors, communities, and the greater good
  • Why the word philanthropy is culturally problematic, and how the words, phrases, or norms we perpetuate can relate to racism or structural inequities
  • Two ways you can overcome the barrier of overwhelm
  • Why needing to intentionally check in on your projects is so important – to see what’s working and what’s not working – and then to make changes as necessary
  • What the future of investing and funding may look like as we move toward a recovery period after the pandemic

“At the end of the day, we should all be about change – about racial justice, social justice, systems change, structural change – so we can address these inequities that are so pervasive.” – Kris Putnam-Walkerly (Tweet this.)
