Fact SheetAbout The Ethical Rainmaker
In the United States alone, philanthropy is a $427 billion dollar industry, of which 68% comes from individual donors. Yet the practices, theories, and foundation of modern philanthropy and fundraising often ignore the ways in which the industry perpetuates harm. From grounding practices in donor experiences instead of a community's needs, to a lack of political, race, class, and power analyses, traditional fundraising practices often perpetuate the very injustices the nonprofit sector wishes to end. The Ethical Rainmaker is a podcast that hosts authentic conversations grappling with the questions that we don’t often ask in the nonprofit world. Join us as we explore some of the practices that undermine our missions and navigate the way forward with today’s resisters, reimaginers, and the re-creators of the Third Sector. It’s time to think differently. The Production The Ethical Rainmaker (TER) launched it's first full length episode on July 29th. Since then TER has featured guest like, Vu Le, Heather Infantry, Lateef "L.T"Taylor, and more! TER is hosted by Michelle Shireen Muri and sponsored by Michelle's consulting collective, Freedom Conspiracy. We are produced and edited in Seattle, Washington by Isaac Kaplan-Woolner. Social media is run by Rachelle Pierce.
