How Social Justice Fuels Philanthropy
Philanthropy and its essential partner, fund development, are glorious marvels but they raise some concerns. For example: raising money to fight for justice, not just compensating for injustice. Excessive focus on big donors and major gifts - ignoring gifts of all sizes from diverse donors. It's past time for empowerment, democratizing philanthropy, and producing justice. This webinar is about thinking in a new way.
At the conclusion of this session, participants will:
- Understand the distinction between social justice/social change philanthropy and traditional philanthropy.
- Begin pondering the ethics of access in fundraising.
- Question the "moral dilemma" of philanthropy.
- Think beyond strategies and tactics and explore the underpinnings of philanthropy and fund development; the fundamental why of our work; the possible ethical and moral conflicts of our work
