A Starting Point for Your Reparative Philanthropy Journey

Over the past several weeks, we've begun sharing our commitment to reparative philanthropy, a framework that first began shaping our work at Bold Ventures nearly five years ago.

‍

Today, we're excited to release a new resource to help you begin your own journey toward repair: Starting Your Journey Toward Repair.

‍

What You’ll Find Inside

‍

This guide is designed for those who are ready to begin a Reparative Philanthropy journey. It includes:

‍

Our 5 Essential Practices framework

‍

We outline the five essential practices that define repair in action: redistributing extracted wealth, building sustained power, sharing decision-making, cultivating trust-based relationships, and investing in community infrastructure.

‍

Reflection questions to guide your journey

‍

What communities have been harmed in the creation of your wealth? Who holds power in your decision-making? To whom are you truly accountable?

‍

Concrete first steps you can take today‍

‍

From starting with listening to assessing your current practice, we provide practical guidance for beginning the work of repair right where you are.

‍

‍

An Invitation

Reparative philanthropy is not a destination but a transformative practice—an ongoing commitment guided by humility, historical truth, and the leadership of those most impacted by systemic harm.

‍

This guide isn't a prescription or a checklist. It's an invitation to join us in the essential work of repair.
