Our faith is centered around giving and offering support, yet our belief about those who need “help” must be reexamined. Philanthropy is steeped in myths that hurt communities of color rather than help them. Many current philanthropic strategies fail because they neglect the experience, wisdom, and gifts of those receiving “help,” and prioritize and perpetuate false myths. These myths fuel deficit-based models of philanthropy that do not work and will not change poverty.
Froswa’ Booker-Drew offers a solution that transforms philanthropy at individual and collective levels. Eliminating common myths and misinterpretations can bring about a more effective model of philanthropy–one that relies on a community’s social, human, and cultural capital and champions the insights and strengths of those being served. In addition, the voices of those most impacted by philanthropy must be included in board membership, program development, leadership in nonprofits, and charitable giving.
Empowering Charity serves as a catalyst and conversation starter for authentic inclusion in our workplaces, organizations, and communities. Booker-Drew supplies tools for involving those who are often unknown, overlooked, or viewed as “other,” strategies that will have a collective impact in the community of God and transform philanthropy to highlight God’s love for all people and effect real change.
Empowering Charity is a compelling, informative, and memorable book exploring a new perspective on philanthropy that compelled me to read as well as inform me from beginning to end! Thanks to the book’s insightful and useful knowledge.

The knowledge and wisdom courtesy of Frowsa’ Booker-Drew laced throughout the book impressed me continuously because just when I thought Booker-Drew could not have any more knowledge, she surprised me and expanded on her wealth of knowledge even more! Frowsa’ Booker-Drew is not only a phenomenal person for her wealth of knowledge and wisdom but also for her exceptional literature that flows beautifully throughout. Sadly many books of this nature are not written well because although the author in question has the knowledge or experience, they do not know how to inform and captivate the reader, but Booker-Drew does.
