À propos de cet audio

 In this episode of Reimagining Philanthropy, Ratna Omidvar talks to Justin Wiebe and Lucy Bernholz about ways forward for the philanthropy sector, as it undergoes what Omidvar calls “a bit of an existential challenge.” The guests confront Western, Eurocentric ideas of philanthropy, especially when they come from a transactional perspective of taking and giving. Bernholz explains that colonization has limited our imaginations on what philanthropy can and should be. The ideal world would have no need for philanthropy because people would be able to do what they need to without it, Bernholz says. Until then, different models such as “transformative philanthropy,” for example, would put funds directly in the hands of communities, without, as Wiebe says, “making people jump through these hoops all the time.” The underlying message? To move forward, the sector needs to learn from worldviews outside of the dominant one and imagine different models of giving.
