I'm Rebecca Darwent, a philanthropic advisor and social entrepreneur dedicated to advancing equity, liberation, and abundance through wealth and resource redistribution. With over 15 years of experience, I have led strategy, policy, fundraising, and partnerships, mobilizing multimillion-dollar investments in equity, health, and education.As a co-founder of the Foundation for Black Communities, I led the fundraising, community engagement, and advocacy that resulted in a historic $200 million commitment to Black philanthropy by the Canadian government, ensuring sustainable resources are available for Black communities to thrive, engage in solution-making, and create lasting impact. I currently sit on the Board of Directors of the Foundation for Black Communities, The Philanthropy Workshop Canada, and Laidlaw Foundation. I am a 2024 Young Global Leader, Women Leaders for the World Fellow and a Canadian Millennium Laureate. We all have a role to play. Let's connect if you're ready to build new philanthropic models together!
