Wendy Paris has been writing for Inside Philanthropy off and on since its start. She covers aging, homelessness, Jewish giving, the arts, international philanthropy, trends — and anything that comes across her desk that seems interesting and relevant. She has worked as a journalist for glossy magazines, gritty newspapers, radio, TV and online outlets, and has written for Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, ArtNews, Psychology Today, Jewish Journal and other publications. She is the author or co-author of six books, including Splitopia: Dispatches from Today’s Good Divorce, and Buy the Change You Want to See: Use Your Purchasing Power to Make the World a Better Place. During the pandemic, she earned a master’s degree in social work, which makes covering philanthropy and the nonprofits it supports not only a great journalism gig but also “macro practice social work.”
