Feminist Resource Mobilisation With Roz Lee

What Donors Want

Rachel Stephenson Sheff and Emily Collins-Ellis speak with the incomparable Roz Lee - a leader who has dedicated her life to advancing racial, gender, economic and LGBTQ justice through community organising, advocacy, political education and philanthropy. Roz has held leadership roles at the Equality Fund, Ms. Foundation for Women, and the Arcus Foundation. She is also the first-ever Professor of Practice at the Centre for Feminist, Queer and Transgender Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. While this episode is technically about fundraising - trust us when we say you will walk away a different person, and you’ll probably want to hire Roz as your life coach. Rachel, Emily, Roz - and I.G.’s community of #FixTheFlow Fellows - chat through: 🟡 What Roz has learned from working as both a grant maker and a fundraiser. 🟡 How Roz conceptualises the role of ‘fundraiser’ within the wider activist ecosystem. 🟡 How fundraisers can approach their role with a feminist mindset (both in terms of day to day ways of working, as well as in relationship with funders). 🟡 The incredible abundance mindset Roz brings into her work (and life!) and how this is the best anecdote to burnout. **** This episode is sponsored by Segal Family Foundation, and our Media Partner is Alliance Magazine.
