Calling All Resource Mobilizers, Wealth Reclamation Practitioners, & Grassroots Fundraisers
The Wealth Reclamation Academy of Practitioners (WRAP) is a fast growing community of practice organized by and for Resource Mobilizers. Our practice challenges the traditional institutions of philanthropy that have situated many of us as donors, recruited and professionalized most of us as fundraisers, and charged all of us with becoming ever more savvy at asking for money and organizing dollars. We are firmly grounded in unwavering solidarity with the U.S. Movement For Black Lives and related global actions in support of justice and equity for Black and Indigenous people of color around the world.
As Resource Mobilizers, we are the individuals in our communities who specialize in cultivating relationship networks and stewarding the flow of social and material wealth back into social justice movement and community-building. Together, we are working to define the emerging field of wealth reclamation, an approach to resourcing our movements that is in better alignment with our intersectional vision for justice and equity than today’s practices of nonprofit fundraising.
