The business of philanthropy doesn’t stop with the disbursement to the charity. Impact-generating giving starts when the donation leaves the personal bank account of the donor and moves into the charitable account, be that the foundation, donor advised fund, community foundation or the recipient organization directly.

In the final instalment of our Trends in Philanthropy series we dive into how donors move from talking about collaboration to formalizing Collaboration as a System. You can find the articles on the other trends in past newsletters.

The first piece features the work of one our clients, Silver Gummy Foundation. It explores the concepts around ecosystem grantmaking. The second article, highlights how deepening the relationship between the donor and the charity acts as a multiplier effect leading to the “buying” of outcomes.

As we approach the Giving Season we are hosting, in partnership with Place2Give Foundation and Transform Philanthropy, two workshops on the rising trend of Donor Advised Funds.
