SUMMARY:Privilege\, Power & Philanthropy: Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion in the Fundraising World
DESCRIPTION:October Professional Development\nPrivilege\, Power & Philanthropy: Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion in the Fundraising World\nView the SLIDES for this event. \nView the RECORDING of this event. \nThe goal of fundraising is to raise money for good causes. In our effort to do “good work”\, might we also be causing harm? In presenting Privilege\, Power & Philanthropy\, Danae Jones Aicher will guide us in thinking more deeply about who we approach for fundraising and how\, and how — without an understanding of power and privilege — we might be upholding and maintaining old systems of oppression. \n \n \nPresented by Danae Jones Aicher\nDanae Jones Aicher is an experienced Equity and Inclusion facilitator with a gift for creating brave spaces for people to address difficult topics around race within their organizations. A former mass communications professional with a degree in History and more than 20 years of experience in news\, politics and public relations\, she utilizes humor and all of her experience to help teams understand how racist systems and policies replicate and perpetuate themselves in an ongoing cycle unless they are intentionally interrupted. In addition to facilitating workshops and trainings for school teams\, non-profit organizations and businesses\, Danae serves as the Equity Director at Rainbow Community School\, a holistic independent school in Asheville\, NC\, and Rainbow Institute\, the school’s adult and organization education counterpart. There\, her focus is keeping the school family connected to each other and the broader community by expanding their understanding of\, and commitment to\, equity and inclusion. Over 30 years\, Danae’s career trajectory has taken her from a political journalist to political operative to social/racial justice educator. She left her professional career for a few years to dedicate herself full-time to raising her young family\, which prompted her to charter a local chapter of Mocha Moms\, Inc.\, a national sisterhood\, support and service organization for mothers of color. She now sits on the national Board of Directors as the National Director for Communication\, Advocacy and Public Policy. She also sits on the Board of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Western North Carolina\, and served four years on the Board of Building Bridges of Asheville\, the local anti-racism organization that brings together the community in a brave space to talk about race\, racism\, and how both show up in Asheville and the broader western North Carolina region. \nParticipants can receive 1 CFRE credit for attending this webinar. \nRegister
