We Refuse to Lose

Does philanthropy hold too much power and privilege to actually achieve equitable outcomes for the people it's intending to help? How can it wield its power and privilege for good? Building on Education First’s We Refuse to Lose: Report to Philanthropy, this podcast is about how power and privilege show up in philanthropy. Listen to perspectives from current and former grantmakers with decades of experience in philanthropy between them as they discuss ways to radically re-think the way philanthropy shows up in communities. Featuring: Maeghan Jones (President and CEO, Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga), Clotilde Perez Bode-Dedecker (President and CEO, Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo), Jean-Claude Brizard (President and CEO, Digital Promise); Sara Allan (Director of Early Learning and Pathways, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation); and Joe Scantlebury (President and CEO, Living Cities)

Coming soon: The We Refuse To Lose special episode. Building from the We Refuse to Lose Report to Philanthropy, this single-episode podcast explores how grantmakers can put the report's recommendations into action. Full-length episode coming SEPTEMBER 28, 2021. But listen to this sneak-peak now!
