Power and Equity Series Part Two: Shifting Mindsets and Shifting Power – A Webinar Hosted by NEID

About

The Network of Engaged International Donors limits attendance to donors only.

This series presents an open and reflective discussion on NEID’s recently released Racial Equity in Global Philanthropy Report. The public session will highlight the recommendations of the Commissioners involved in the creation of this report regarding ways global donors can move their work beyond values statements into full operational integration. Themes addressed in the report include: local vs. global equity frameworks, how colonial norms continue to manifest in development practices, donor accountability, aligning actions and investments with equity values, and more.

It is our intention to expose global donors to practices and approaches that can make a big difference in creating more solid relationships with grantees and ultimately lead to more sustainable solutions globally. In this series, global donors will learn practical approaches that can easily be translated into action.

What Should You Expect?

Part Two: Shifting Mindsets and Shifting Power will include a presentation and moderated discussion. The series will provide a safe space for global donors to reflect as well as practical how-to tips that will take global donors deeper into effectively recognizing power imbalances and restoring equity.

Part Two is focused around reflection on the following questions: Many donors have heard the call and are changing how they practice philanthropy by giving directly to local NGOs and providing multi-year support. What does shifting internal and interpersonal mindsets entail? How do we as a global philanthropy sector talk honestly about the structural power dynamics that underlie philanthropic-grantee relationships and how does a donor demonstrate that they desire genuine trusted partnerships with grantees? What does practicing “charity” vs. “creating equitable partnerships in global philanthropy” entail? What are some best practices that can help donors go even deeper?
