Changemaking funders, question of the week for you... How well acquainted with history are you? Have you deeply researched the history of where you fund--and how past traumatic events may affect how you are received into the community? Have you learned the history of modern philanthropic systems and know their origins? (hint start with Rob Reich 's writing) Do you know how historical systems of privilege and oppression intersect and weave themselves into the story of how your endowment/funds were accumulated? Are there stories there that need to be fully and publicly acknowledged in order to truly respect and build trust with communities? There's no universal curriculum or standards of training for philanthropy. But we can hold ourselves to a higher standard of knowledge and accountability. Follow for more frank philanthropy topics and questions each week 🙌

Plus, learn five key questions to consider when planning your own service days. spr.ly/7676
