Description



1.00 CFRE Credit for attending this Education Session.


Philanthropy and development has been a tool used by societies to both address community problems and meet needs; however, it has also been used by white dominant culture to gain and maintain power and control. This presentation outlines the history of white supremacy in philanthropy and development; recognizes the ways in which it shows up in contemporary fundraising; and focuses on ways in which we can begin to dismantle it for the future. This presentation examines the history, methods and systems that exist within these professions and tangible ways to address and ultimately dismantle these harmful practices.
