Description

In 2016, a wave of donations symbolizing a rejection of incoming President Trump’s policies flooded organizations serving women, immigrants, and the LGBTQ+ community. Given the name “rage philanthropy” by fundraisers, this wave of donations supported organizations whose populations may have been threatened by the policies of the new administration. Even with the change in administration, we have seen continued politicization of philanthropy and the rise of spite philanthropy. Donors have given as a rejection of values as much as in support of them. When Rush Limbaugh died, thousands of donors gave to Planned Parenthood in his “honor.” What implications does this revenge-focused giving have on nonprofit organizations? How do organizations remain nonpartisan when donations become political? Is there a way to harness the rage and spite to further your mission, or should this be avoided at all costs? Join Columbia professor Dr. Gregory R. Witkowski for a fireside chat as he explores this new phenomenon (or is it?) and what nonprofits need to know about navigating this sticky territory.

I Was Told There Would Be Snacks: A Nonprofit Podcast, brought to you by Tennessee Nonprofit Network and powered by KUDZUKIAN. On our podcasts, we’ll be spilling the 501(c)tea on nonprofit issues that impact your nonprofit organization, questioning tired ways nonprofits and funders do business, and shedding light on bold new practices in our field. This is not your average nonprofit podcast! And no, we don’t provide snacks, but feel free to BYO. We were going to get some snacks donated, but the donation application was 42 questions and required too many attachments just to get a few dozen bagels and lukewarm coffee.
