AFP Chicago White Fundraisers Advocating for Racial Equity (WFARE) Affinity Group - Virtual

As we’ve shared previously, our meeting discussion will be centered around the book The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGee. The Sum of Us is available at the Chicago Public Library and at local bookstores like SemiColon Chi, a Black woman-owned bookstore and gallery space.

We encourage folks to try to read the book, but also want to provide some additional resources and encourage folks to attend the meeting even if they have not read the book:

• NPR interview with Heather McGee
• A brief summary of the book by Lit Charts

Understanding that white people have a responsibility to address and dismantle racism, White Fundraisers Advocating for Racial Equity aims to develop a shared understanding of systemic racism’s manifestation in fundraising, nonprofits, and philanthropy; support individual growth for fundraisers to become anti-racist; and develop tools, techniques, and support for fundraisers to influence change in their workplaces and the broader sector towards a more racially equitable society.

If you have any questions, please contact one of the WFARE co-chairs.
