Advancement professionals work in contexts where unequal power dynamics can be a significant factor. This can sometimes create unsafe or uncomfortable situations. For example, the Chronicle of Philanthropy and Association of Fundraising Professionals survey found that 1 in 4 female fundraisers and nearly 1 in 10 male fundraisers have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace. Nearly two-thirds of people who reported sexual harassment blamed donors. In this session, Margaret Clift and Liz Reilly will explore some of the challenges that can face fundraisers in the field and the complexities of negotiating them. We will talk about planning for safety, strategies for handling situations that feel unsafe or uncomfortable, and different institutions’ approaches to protecting their staff.
