New Publication: "Solidarity Philanthropy" |
For those working toward social and ecological justice, philanthropy is a key site of contestation. It is deeply flawed and in urgent need of transformation. Now is the time to organize the philanthropic sector into an active community for movement support and a force for resource redistribution. But how do we get there?
Our recent publication, "Solidarity Philanthropy: Redefining Philanthropy's Relationship with Social Movements" shows a way forward. Since its release it has gotten plenty of buzz in the non-profit sector. Read the publication and consider sharing it with your community. |
