What is equitable philanthropy?
Philanthropy is more than just a donation.
It’s an ethos.
1
Philanthropy is more than giving or asking for money
The equal value of the investment of time, monies, resources, and stories of personal experience, with no expectation of reciprocity.
2
Three-way communication
True change comes when we unite the community, nonprofits, and donors in a common vision.
3
Working towards systems change
If you’re not working towards making the systems equitable, then you are not fully fulfilling your mission.
We can’t change the future…
…until we know our past.
Equity is more than just a statement on our websites or a sign we put in our yard. Equity is how we fully show up every day at work, at home, how we vote, where we spend our money. We must create new best practices and give in ways that address fundraising and philanthropy’s present and historical inequalities.
