Two Philanthropic Leaders Walk Into a Fishbowl … and Get Real

Philanthropy is a field created through the accumulation of power and money. Like so many fields — and so many of us — it needs to be healed as it helps heal. Is this possible? Is there even an alternative?

Two leaders deeply committed to healing and justice got real with each other (and us) about their journeys to philanthropy, and how they’re navigating personal identity, beliefs and power.  They have worked hard to leverage the “best” of philanthropy to support communities while simultaneously trying to transform philanthropy from the inside out. If you want to know how to get a grant, this isn’t the event for you. But if you want candor and truth-telling, deep hope and humor and a conversation you haven’t heard before, check out this conversation.
