"Creating Change Through Family Philanthropy" explains how
privilege works in our society, and how young people can use it to
better society. Based on the authors' experiences with Resource
Generation, a national nonprofit working with wealthy young
progressives, the book makes the case for addressing urgent social
and economic needs financially. It frames controversial topics from
power dynamics to grants payout in an accessible way, offering
next-generation readers the tools they need to transform their
funds. Drawing on over 40 interviews, this is an essential guide
for both young philanthropists and anyone working with wealthy
families interested in ethical giving.
This book speaks specifically to people of privilege who want to
enforce social change for the better. The fight for economic
justice can draw some stark battle lines. It's often painted as an
'us versus them' war, with the rich in the role of 'them,' and
everyone else cast as "us." So where does that leave young people
who believe in social change? Afraid of being branded the enemy,
yet deeply committed to social justice, they're left wandering in a
confusing no man's land. This conflict can lead most young people
with wealth to keep their privilege hidden - making it impossible
for them to bring their resources, access and connections to the
struggle for social change. "Classified" is a resource guide for
people with class privilege who are tired of cover-ups, who are
ready to dig through the buried files and figure out how their
privilege really works. Complete with comics, exercises and
personal stories, "Classified" gives its readers the tools they
need to stop hiding their privilege and instead put it to work for
social change.
