Module 7 Progress
Context
Throughout this toolkit, we’ve explored concepts of social justice, privilege, and social justice philanthropy. To practice social justice philanthropy, we must explore how we as individuals experience bias and privilege in life.
Philanthropy can have a broad reach. It impacts systems of organizations and the people employed or served by those organizations. For this reason, unchecked bias can have heightened consequences in the context of philanthropy. This module will encourage participants to think about how their personal biases might impact the role they play as philanthropists.
Objectives
Participants will identify how personal bias, power and privilege show up the work of philanthropy.
