Share laughs (and cringe-worthy case studies) as we unpacking the most ridiculous situations

25/11/2024

It’s the grand finale of Season 2, and we’re not holding anything back!

This episode lands squarely in the “if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry” category—because we’re tackling the complex and all-too-real topic of performative allyship. Join us as we shine a light on the gap between championing DEI initiatives in fundraising and rolling up our sleeves for the real, often uncomfortable work of true inclusion. It’s candid, it’s necessary, and yes, it might get a little uncomfortable.

In this episode we dive into the sometimes cringeworthy world of performative allyship. Join us as we unpack the difference of waving the DEI banner in fundraising while sometimes sidestepping the real, hard work of inclusion.

👊 Punchline: We have to be fearless in standing up to our leadership. If we want to be inclusive, what are we actually doing to help? Ask tough questions and start bringing these issues forward.

Happy ! 🎙️ Every other week you can join us to share laughs (and cringe-worthy case studies) as we unpack the most ridiculous (and positively shocking) situations that happen within our sector. Because sometimes we just have to laugh at ourselves in order to learn.

We believe in the power of generosity to change the world. And something tells us you do too. At the root of each of these stories is a serious ethical question, a system or structure or person that allowed it to happen, or an outdated practice just ready for disruption.

We are so grateful for the community we've built together! 💬 If you haven’t tuned in yet, now’s the perfect time to join the conversation. 🎧

Have you ever based a fundraising decision off of a single article or statistic presented in a study? Data is all around us, and statistics are often presented as "best practice" or "latest trends", but are they, really? 👊 Punchline: Be careful when you read headlines. Ask questions, know the source, check for bias, and verify the statistics being presented before you act.
