Personally and professionally, many of us have been asking ourselves questions about the state of our world, particularly with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as racial and social injustice. Instead of grappling with these challenges individually, we thought that our community could benefit from coming together and growing our understanding by exploring these topics through the lens of philanthropy.
WID as an organization is committed to promoting and supporting the advancement of others. Therefore we cannot do that in a vacuum, without first looking at ourselves, examining our own place, diversifying our group, listening to less heard voices amongst us, and acting equitably on behalf of all. We need to start by opening our doors wider, asking good questions, learning more about each others’ realities, always advocating for inclusion, and working together to find and implement solutions.
