This executive summary brings an overview of the Philanthropy Always Sounds Like Someone Else: A Portrait of High Net Worth Donors of Color report.

The research demonstrates that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) with high net worth (HNW) are amazing and powerful, with great potential to move millions of dollars and inspire other hidden figures in philanthropy. The Donors of Color Network hopes that by sharing some important and inspirational stories, the apparition of HNW donors of color gains corporeality and that practitioners in the field will take note.
