how do you all define philanthropy? Have you reconsidered your definition as you work in the space?

Hi everyone! Vilas Dhar from the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation in Boston here!

HI! Toya Williford from Mayor's Fund to Advance NYC. Let's dig deep today and push ourselves to have real talk about HOW, WHY and WHERE we allocate dollars and energy.

thank all:)

One of the areas where we have spent a lot of time is around trust-based philanthropy - some great local and national examples where trust-based is permeating inside philanthropic practice and also creating community-led change, where philanthropy is being led by voices from our communities.

Hello all! Sarah Koch, philanthropy consultant currently helping to set up a funders network around entrepreneurship. Based in Alexandria, VA (does that mean anything anymore?). Looking forward to talking about how we start to identify ALL the power dynamics at play in philanthropy and how we begin to dismantle them, both internally and externally.

We will work on that Yvonne!!

Last post from me but great tool from Associated Black Charities that outlines trust-based and aligns it to a racial equity framework: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5728e34fd51cd4809e7aefe0/t/5ef0f1155598594c56072744/1592848662496/10+Essential+Questions+Philanthropy+8pg_v2.pdf

Thank you for the framing Funmilayo. The idea of philanthropy based on systems of colonization is rooted in the language we use to describe philanthropy--sometimes stated as "learn, earn and return" or simply "giving back". You can only return or give back that which has been taken.

Love that, Yvonne! How can we claim to be anti-racist if we don’t integrate it across all programs and internal processes?

Thank you for the creation of a Donor Advised Fund. Would love to see that model grow.
