#206 - Retirement for NPO folks with Chitra Aiyar

Retirement is a Race Issue with Chitra Aiyar. What comes up for you when I say retirement? Are old people golfing in Florida? Think again.

Join me and my dear friend Chitra Aiyar as we discuss why retirement is a generational/racial wealth gap issue, and what nonprofit employers can do to support workers.

Working in the nonprofit sector shouldn't have to mean sacrificing your long-term financial well-being.

Who should listen to this podcast:

-Employees at nonprofits, particularly if you are young and do not come from generational wealth.
-Nonprofit employers who are concerned about the long-term for their employees, especially those who employ folx of color.
-Funders and nonprofit associations who are interested in racial justice and equity.

In short, everyone.

QUOTE FROM CHITRA: 

"All of this cultural competency means nothing if people aren't building wealth, right? So if you actually wanna put your money where your mouth is, we should be subsidizing retirement plans for smaller organizations at a sector-wide level, as opposed to asking every organization to figure it out on their own."
