Within the non-profit industrial complex, communities of color are chronically underfunded. This is a problem today’s guest, Iara Peng is working to solve. Iara is the founder and CEO of JustFund, an online portal democratizing philanthropy by connecting grantmakers directly to organizations. In this fascinating episode, we learn about Iara’s personal relationship with concepts of democracy, why she drove the original Declaration of Independence from Vermont to New York, why philanthropy is inherently exclusionary, her visionary solution to making grantmaking more accessible, and more. Ever wondered what Donor Advised Funds are or why philanthropy lacks accountability? This episode is rich with information the average person might not know about the philanthropic world and how we can build a more equitable system.
