While financial donations are crucial in supporting charitable causes, it's important to recognize the value of mindset in philanthropy. Having a positive and open-minded approach towards giving can lead to more impactful and sustainable change. Here are some ways in which our mindset plays a crucial role in the world of philanthropy: 1) Being Informed: Educating ourselves about the causes and organizations we support can help us make more informed decisions when it comes to giving. 2) Embracing Innovation: The world is constantly changing, and so are the challenges faced by our communities. Embracing new ideas and approaches in philanthropy can lead to more effective solutions. 3) Collaboration over Competition: Instead of viewing other charities as competition, we can work together towards a common goal. This not only leads to greater impact but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration. 4) Long-Term Thinking: Philanthropy is not just about short-term solutions, it's about creating long-lasting change. Having a mindset focused on sustainable solutions can lead to more impactful giving. #PositiveMindset #ImpactfulGiving #SustainableChange #InformedPhilanthropy #InnovativeSolutions #CollaborativeGiving #LongTermImpact #BeyondDonations

At our Philanthropy and Partnerships Forum yesterday we heard some fascinating insights from Robin Willoughby about working with major philanthropic funders. Here are some reflections that our group discussed:   - Big philanthropy is most motivated by your organisation’s vision and impact – so you might be wasting time by talking too much about the problem! You wouldn’t be meeting them or submitting a proposal if they needed convincing on the issues you're trying to address. This is a different scenario to mass fundraising, where you might be talking to a colder audience or one less familiar with the challenges your organisation is tackling. - Getting to know the money behind the philanthropic fund gives valuable insight into how the fund is likely to operate. How is the organisation funded, and what might that tell you about the type of information they’ll be most receptive to? - Think about yourself as an influencer rather than a fundraiser. Who are the top 50 people that can make the biggest impact on your cause (and that might not be financially)? How might you reach those people, and where might you and your charity’s leadership need to position yourselves (physically and virtually!) to reach those priority people?
