How to Dismantle and Share Power and Privilege in Gift Planning
presented by
Tanya Hannah Rumble and Nicole McVan
As a fundraising professional or professional advisor, what is your role in dismantling power and privilege dynamics in gift planning? How do you:
- Share power, hold space and give up power?
- Ensure equity in addressing community needs through donor education and fundraising?
- Develop opportunites for community leaders with diverse lived experience and intersectional identities to access greater power and influence within your charitable organization and with your donors and clients?
- Create and uphold organizational culture and practices that ensure donor and staff relationships are grounded in equity and anti oppression?
Power and privilege are loaded terms that we can tend to shy away from when it comes to securing and stewarding gifts from donors.
Donor relationships are rife with power dynamics and almost always put the development professional in a position of weakness, and similarly this dynamic is transposed into the community foundation sector and shows up in our organizational cultures. The philanthropic and charitable community is built on an origin story of loving humanity and caring people and causes altruistically. However that altruism and love of humanity is simply not distributed equitably - how many racialized, queer, trans, Muslim professionals are there in positional leadership roles in community foundations in Canada? How many are in your organization, on your board, and in your donor base?
This session is for members of the gift planning community - fundraisers and professional advisors who are interested in moving from empathetic allies to actively anti-oppressive and creating an organizational culture that actively reflects values of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA). You will walk away emboldened and energized with practical and tactical strategies to harness your power in navigating and building relationships with your donors/clients, board members, charity partners and colleagues.
Your facilitators Tanya Hannah Rumble, CFRE (she/her) and Nicole McVan, MA (they/them) are long-time collaborators and respected fundraising leaders. Together they have led learning sessions and facilitated workshops for more than 2,000 professional fundraisers across North America and Europe on the topics of power and privilege; equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and fundraising. They have worked with: UNICEF Canada, Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), Canada Board of Directors, Art Gallery of Ontario, Association for Opera in Canada, and the Canadian Cancer Society and many more. They bring a unique blend of deep expertise as full-time professional fundraisers; the vulnerability they share and cultivate in their learning sessions through sharing of their collective lived experiences as racialized, disabled, and trans-non-binary professionals; and the power to help folks examine sensitive and challenging topics such as race, oppression and privilege with non-judgement.
