Discovering your philanthropic purpose, and honing the tools and resources to act on that purpose, takes consideration and contemplation. Done properly, this work is a gift to yourself and to the world. Philanthropy is an expression of thanks and hope that we can create change on the issues that matter to us - and a personal philanthropic plan enables us to live our legacies while we're still alive... Feminist philanthropy operates on the principles of solidarity, agency, and reciprocity. It has arisen from a movement of people who demand to be a voice at the table, to recognize nature as a guide, and to treat each other as one. Using feminism to develop our philanthropy engages a systems perspective, one that shifts our narrative from one of extraction to one of co-creation, and centers our giving on achieving wholeness and equity. When you approach your giving with this mindset, you're better able to align your privilege with your purpose. A feminist philanthropist is: informed about their passions, the needs of their community, and the resources they have to make a difference; intentional about how they spend their resources; joyful in giving and receiving.--Amazon.com description.
