Good to see. And good to see #CharityCommission support. As one of my closing events I spoke to funders about the need to move much much to longer unrestricted funding for #SmallButVital charities. And many are but not enough. But also the critical need to speak up for proper complementary funding by Local Gov (which means a decent funding settlement for LAs that have been starved of funding for some years now). Ultimately funders #AssociationCharitableFoundations can’t fund into a vacuum. We need funding partners and that is often Local Govt. The way to encourage philanthropy paradoxically is for #HMT to do its bit so we’re can fund alongside Government- not instead of. Funders need to speak out about this far more than they do and are doing. Or we will end up funding into thin air. #LloydsBankFoundation

#NEIDMembers are sharing how we are changing the face of #philanthropy by making it more #accessible and unleashing funds in more #strategic and effective ways! Mary and David Hawkins share their story below: "We joined NEID at the beginning of our philanthropic journey. Through NEID events, NEID members, and member organizations we developed a self-consistent, values-based approach to grant making from the ground up. First, we outlined our philanthropic values based on lessons learned in NEID Giving Circles. These values include focusing on geographic regions and issues that are underfunded, listening to and trusting the expertise of local leaders, and giving grants in a manner that meets an organization’s needs rather than in a manner dictated by us. Mirroring the process followed in NEID Giving Circles, we then used our philanthropic values to build a set of principles designed to identify potential grantees that best matched our values. These guiding principles included practicing trust-based philanthropy, developing long term partnerships with grantees, and minimizing the need for proposals, reporting, and assessment that can burden grass roots organizations. After three years, thanks to our rapid NEID-fueled education, we now partner with dozens of grantees providing unrestricted, multi-year grants across both our geographic regions of interest and our spectrum of issue areas. In addition, our participation in NEID introduced us to the importance of investing our philanthropic funds in ways that are consistent with our values. This introduction led us to a parallel educational journey into impact investing. Our DAF investments are now 100% values-aligned, multiplying the effectiveness of our philanthropic efforts." Invest in our community to help change the world! Help us reach our $200,000 fundraising goal as we expand across the country here: https://shorturl.at/dIXZ0 #internationaldonors #15YearsofImpact Karen Keating Ansara The Boston Foundation Pathstone Imago Dei Fund Alliance magazine Impact Entrepreneur

Changemaking Network Effects | Developing Social Enterprise | CanaGlobal Small Town Entrepreneur Zone|
I’ve been associated with non-profit organizations for most of my life, as a donor, volunteer, and for a period of about 12 years as an active staff member of an international Christian mission. I’ve done my share of fund raising along the way and often wondered if there wasn’t a mission-compatible way to generate funding through business activities. It seems like a tough problem to solve for a number of reasons. The charitable giving, donations based model is almost universally used, and while there is much success, it raises its own set of issues. The term “Business With A Mission” applies to many purpose driven businesses, whether overtly operated for social good or not. The term “Mission With A Business” better describes what I am looking for. It implies a compatible funding mechanism, dedicated to funding the mission. A big step forward is in a compatible banking partnership. One core reason is that banking is the foundational structural piece of a business. I now have an option that aligns with my organizational values. We’re announcing a one day introductory special for our banking partner, who provides solutions for positive social impact. This revolutionary platform greatly extends the purchasing power of their members. Their membership fee is just $25, and comes loaded with $500 value in purchasing discounts. Today only a limited number of membership rebates are available. Also today, the fee is a one-time rather than annual, and matching benefits are doubled until the end of 2024. They are a great partner for individuals and groups who care about the impact for good in their organization. DM me for more information so that you can evaluate them for yourself. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At BetterFutureToday we’re creating a network of individuals and organizations who are dedicated to being light in the world. Our current emphases are: SAT-7: who supports the Christians of the Middle East and North Africa in their Christian witness and lives. They beam the Good News of the Kingdom of God straight into people’s homes, into the center of family life through Christian media created by those who live there. MannaRelief who provides children all over the world with advanced immune nutritional support, We’ve partnered with: CanaGlobal, who equips entrepreneurs to found and operate Kingdom Ventures, equipped in their faith and operations. The Hope Movement, by Alovea and MannaRelief who together provide hope with breakthrough nutritional technologies. TranzactCard, our banking and network extension partner, who provides banking solutions with a positive social impact. We’re actively seeking partners in these and other sectors, including Missions/Ministries Food Supply/ Regenerative agriculture Affordable Housing Energy Solutions

Sometimes charitable giving is driven by our particular interests or concerns: causes we are passionate about because of a meaningful personal connection. A different way to approach giving is to try to objectively consider the causes that might be most important and give to charities that address them, even if we have no connections. How to decide between these two approaches? Maybe the answer is: do both! This is a nice article from Benjamin Soskis on this topic.
In his January annual letter, Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman promoted "Yes, and" philanthropy, which would leverage donors' proclivities to give to institutions that they have personal connections to (which can deepen inequities in the sector), in order to propel more giving *toward* equity. It's an approach, I argue in this piece in the The Chronicle of Philanthropy, that could reconcile the sometimes contending forces of charitable pluralism and prescription. What might "yes, and" philanthropy look like in practice? And how might it involve "charitable sommeliers." Read on... https://lnkd.in/ehbkF_Au
