Philanthropy as whiteness: toward racially just philanthropic practices

In this article, the authors draw on critical race theory and critical whiteness studies, specifically Cheryl Harris’ work to expose the whiteness of philanthropy, not as a racial identity, but in the way that philanthropy is performed. The authors characterize one of the property functions of whiteness, the right to exclude, as working through two mechanisms: neoliberal exclusion and overt exclusion. Drawing on this construction of the right to exclude, the authors present two cases: the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the City Fund.
