Nonprofit Lowdown

#263 - Rich White Men with Garrett Neiman


Listen Later

Ever feel like no matter how hard you shake the money tree, the fruit only falls for certain folks? 💰🌳

On the latest episode of Nonprofit Lowdown, Garrett Neiman riffs on how subtle (and not so subtle) biases in philanthropy make it dramatically easier for privileged people to fundraise.

Garrett knows this song by heart. As a former nonprofit founder and author of Rich White Men he's on a mission to help level the playing field.

He reflects on his journey from a conservative upbringing to recognizing the systemic barriers and biases faced by marginalized communities. Garrett realized the need for a power analysis in social change work - one that calls on white men to stand up for equity and justice.

The conversation touches on topics like the War on Wokeness, fundraising disparities, and the importance of understanding privilege.

Garrett's prescription? Get more people with power - especially rich white dudes - talking openly about equity. 🗣️ He encourages privileged folks to determine their unique position, commit to lifelong learning, and take daily action to promote justice.

Ready for frank convo on race, class and cash? Garrett brings nuance and heart. Get your headphones and an open mind.
