Overview

Decolonizing Wealth Project helps communities rethink and redirect money from traditional philanthropy and investor systems toward collective wellbeing. It runs programs, research, and partnerships that guide donors, funders, and communities to move wealth away from extractive practices and toward investments that support racial and economic justice, Black and Indigenous leadership, and community-owned projects. Its work includes building tools, training, and networks that enable more community-led decision making and reparative funding. Unlike many philanthropy efforts that operate with top-down power, the project centers the voices of communities most affected by inequality and uses funding as a means to build long-term wellbeing. The goal is to shift wealth structures so resources support collective flourishing rather than individual advantage.
