Philanthropy

Aligning Values, Approaches, and Impact

Philanthropy has always been an integral part of social change and innovation. The twenty-first century has seen unprecedented interest in and growth of philanthropy. Philanthropic leaders continue to assess the ways in which they can be even more effective in their grant making toward greater social impact. Either through traditional forms of grant-making or new approaches such as Trust-based Philanthropy, Spend Down approaches, Program/Mission Related Investments, Impact Investing, and Private/Public Partnerships, it is clear that philanthropic organizations and individuals will continue to be a vital part of social progress.
