Rejecting False Harmony: How Philanthropy Can Support Real Healing
Nwamaka Agbo, CEO of Solidaire member Kataly Foundation, wrote a piece for Nonprofit Quarterly to discuss how philanthropy can support accountability and true healing in light of the white supremacist attempted coup on January 6th:
Accountability is as much about rejecting the things that we do not want for our society as it is about supporting, building, and investing in the systems, structures, and institutions that we do want. In case it was not clear before, philanthropy—an industry that is supposed to benefit the public good—can no longer take a neutral stance in the face of what we experienced last week. To make calls for healing without accountability actually enables the erosion and destruction that has been a slow-burn to our democracy over the past four years, but long before that as well.
