Remember how every summer as a kid you would have a Summer Reading List? Well, this summer is no different!
Check out this reading list full of resources from leading experts that individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations can use to shape an equitable and radically inclusive world.
You won’t want to miss this list of anti-racist resources from Berrett-Koehler Publishers. Berrett-Koehler is an independent publisher with the mission of connecting people and ideas to create a world that works for all.

Included in this list is a book WID first recommended back in our September edition of the Pulse of Fundraising, Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance by Edgar Villanueva.

To encourage people to give more freely from their donor-advised funds in response to the coronavirus pandemic, a California couple has offered to give up to $1 million to donors’ favorite nonprofits.
But there is a catch: The contributions will only be made if the donors pledge to empty half of their donor-advised-fund account and direct that money to charity by September 30.
David and Jennifer Risher say they created the #HalfMyDAF challenge because it’s more important than ever to move money out of donor-advised-fund “parking lots” and speed them to charities in need.
