The issues related to power and privilege are widely
prevalent in the fundraising profession. I designed and executed a nationwide
study to understand how prejudice manifests in the lives of racialized and
marginalized fundraisers. By listening to these stories, we can expand our
understanding of diversity-related issues in our profession.
Charu Uppal is the annual giving manager at the Oregon Zoo Foundation where she is responsible for creating a groundswell of support from the community to conserve endangered species. Charu is a systems
thinker who is committed to building a just and equitable profession for
racialized and marginalized fundraisers. She strongly believes that we must
celebrate the fundraiser’s contributions as integral to philanthropy. A
nonprofit’s missions and donor support are intricately connected by the
fundraiser.
