Decolonizing Wealth - Book Reading
10/18 @ 6:30-8p

Decolonizing Wealth, written by Indigenous author and philanthropist Edgar Villanueva. He
sheds light on the world of philanthropy and its inherent inequities related to white supremacy,
savior complexes, and internalized oppression. Villanueva challenges readers to learn the dark
realities of philanthropy and discuss ways of repairing the decades of damage it has had on
communities of color specifically.

We hope folks in attendance have read the book and are ready to discuss learnings, reflections,
and the next steps in how we can start to make changes in our local communities around how
grants and funding are distributed.

Everyone is welcome, whether or not you have read the book! We will start the discussion with
an overview and highlights from the book, why this information and learnings are important, and
then open it up for discussion.

About Lindsay:
Lindsay Limbach (she/her) is from Kearney, NE, and has resided in Lincoln for the last 15 years.
She is passionate about systemic change collaboratively, starting at the local level. One of her
favorite ways of engaging is participating in book talks. “Nebraska is a small state in many ways,
and many of us have vast connections, specifically with philanthropists. I believe a book
conversation around Villanueva’s Decolonizing Wealth could be a great entry point to generate
ideas around how we, collectively, can connect with folks who make funding decisions and
encourage/work toward funding path changes in our community.”
