À propos de cet audio

 Today’s episode of Reimagining Philanthropy features Liban Abokor, co-founder of Foundation for Black Communities. Host Ratna Omidvar begins the conversation by asking, “Should we think of philanthropy as public money or private money?” Abokor responds that it needs to be seen as public wealth. This first question sets the tone for a conversation about how moving the philanthropy sector forward so it can address inequity, injustice, and racism means creating mechanisms to hold it accountable to the communities it poses to serve. Abokor emphasizes that to solve its problems, the sector must find ways to include the voices of those who have been left out. Greater representation with a “duty of care” approach, he says, can help to address some of the issues raised in the Unfunded report. He also suggests equity benchmarks and policy changes. And to see these changes actually happen, we must be impatient. No more incrementalism, he says: “We need to demand transformation at scale.”
