#193 - Donors of Color with Hali Lee

Let’s dispel the myth that you can either have donor diversity or donor wealth, but you can’t have both.  In this episode, my dear friend  Hali Lee, the founder of Radiant Strategies and the Asian Women Giving Circle, and the co-founder of the Donors of Color Network, talks about the results of her study of high-net-worth donors of color, entitled “Philanthropy Always Sounds Like Someone Else: A Portrait of High Net Worth Donors of Color.”

Join me and Hali as we discuss the implication of this study.  You will also learn some opportunities that nonprofits should be thinking about as they engage these high-net-worth donors of color.
