This month’s book: Decolonizing Wealth

As fundraisers, we have seen the transformative power of philanthropy. We have also seen its foundation in—and perpetuation of—systems of oppression.

How is philanthropy linked to colonial structures? Is it ultimately doing more harm than good? How can we shift our industry toward healing?

In Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance, Edgar Villanueva diagnoses the fatal flaws in philanthropy and provides thoughtful solutions to these systemic imbalances. Decolonizing Wealth is a timely and critical book that preaches for mutually assured liberation in which we are all inter-connected.

With great compassion—because the Native way is to bring the oppressor into the circle of healing—Villanueva is able to both diagnose the fatal flaws in philanthropy and provide thoughtful solutions to these systemic imbalances. Decolonizing Wealth is a timely and critical book that preaches for mutually assured liberation in which we are all inter-connected.

Join us for a lively conversation with nonprofit leaders and fundraisers. We'll discuss what we've learned from the book and how we're applying it to our day-to-day lives.

Here's a link to order the book.

Note: This will be an interactive, small-group event. Don't have time to read the book? No worries! Join us anyway to share your experiences and learn from others.
