Reparative Philanthropy

Reparative Philanthropy has emerged as a leading best practice to support individual donors and organizations moving from traditional giving to authentic relationships that promote collective wellbeing

DWP defines Reparative Philanthropy as ‘‘the redistribution of resources in a manner that acknowledges the extractive origins of philanthropic wealth (family or institutional) and how colonization, slavery and the forms of oppression facilitated the accumulation of wealth that philanthropy protects, grows and distributes."

‍

Reparative philanthropy seeks to foster repair and collective healing through acts of giving.
