Dream Boldly, Practice the Future
FREEDOM DREAMS IN PHILANTHROPY
Reimagining Philanthropy in Service to Collective Liberation
“Without new visions, we don’t know what to build, only what to knock down. We not only end up confused, rudderless, and cynical, but we forget that making a revolution is not a series of clever maneuvers and tactics, but a process that can and must transform us.”
​
– Robin D.G. Kelley in Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
At Freedom Dreams in Philanthropy, we invite philanthropy to explore with us through:
Practices of imagining, becoming, and transformation through written pieces, curated virtual convenings, in-person gatherings, and multimedia.
Spaces where visionary leaders can gather to connect, share, and practice the future.​
Deep relationships between philanthropy and multidisciplinary leaders, scholars, and artists who are practicing the future.
