2008 Donor Organizing Institute

Eleven local organizers joined with a cross-class, cross-race team of facilitators to strengthen their donor organizing skills in Minneapolis this April. Storytelling, developing outreach skills, exchanging local experiences, and creating action plans made for full days at this 3-day training. We’re excited to continue to work with all participants as they use their knowledge on the ground in RG communities across the country.

“At the 2008 DOI I realized how much there is to this work – organizing people and groups to leverage resources for social justice is HUGE.  It’s building relationships with individual privileged people; it’s speaking up publicly about class privilege and economic justice; its organizing locally and nationally on these issues; it’s educating folks one-on-one and in more institutional ways about giving for social change; it’s thinking critically about how privileged people can be effective allies in economic justice and social justice movements.  It’s great to spend time exploring all of this, and more, with a group of people from around the country who are committed to organizing as class privileged people as part of, and accountable to, broad movements for justice.”
