Are you a philanthropic leader who wants to create more social impact through your giving? Join the next online cohort to learn alongside peers the tools and strategies for applying the principles of high impact philanthropy to your efforts.
Who Should Attend?
This program is for grantmakers, foundation trustees, foundation executive directors/CEOs and other philanthropic leaders who are eager to create more social impact with their giving. The ideal participant has ongoing direct experience with philanthropy.
What Will You Learn?
High impact philanthropy is getting the most “good” for your philanthropic “buck.” It is the process by which a philanthropist makes the biggest difference possible, given the amount of capital invested. This means focusing first on achieving social impact – i.e., a meaningful improvement in the lives of others (vs. other concerns such as maximizing the funder’s tax benefit or honoring a funder’s loved one). Participants will learn the tools and strategies needed to apply the principles of high impact philanthropy to their own efforts.
In addition to adapting the program’s format, our team has also expanded our curriculum to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, related economic crisis, and heightened calls for racial justice, particularly in the US. This year’s program incorporates timely content and skill-building critical for funders at this time:
- Impact of COVID-19 on philanthropy and nonprofits
- Effective crisis-response giving and grantmaking
- How to integrate considerations of structural inequity into philanthropy
