🎪Celebrating another year of Flackstock!🎉 Anna Cronin-Nowakowska, Harry Mallidis and Jocelyn Phimister from the Prism team, headed to Englefield House for #Flackstock 2024 to enjoy a day of live performances all in aid of mental health causes. Set up as a Collective Fund under Prism, Flackstock was created by family and friends to honour the memory of TV presenter Caroline Flack, and to raise funds for mental health charities that were close to her heart. Congratulations to everyone involved, for another year of this incredible event! 🌟 #Flackstock2024 #MentalHealthAwareness #SupportMentalHealth #Philanthropy

Reflections on Last week's learning 📚 : 💡 There has long been a push for greater transparency in grantmaking. In today’s rapidly evolving philanthropic landscape 360Giving have developed an open data platform aimed at increasing the impact of grant making in the UK today. Prism's Founder and CEO, Anna Josse, attended the launch event for UK Grantmaking, a new philanthropic offering from 360Giving, the Association of Charitable Foundations, the ACO - The Association of Charitable Organisations, UK Community Foundations , and London Funders. UK Grantmaking is a unique collaborative project seeking to enhance transparency and effectiveness of charitable giving in the UK, through the collation of data across all funding sectors. Thank you Tania Cohen for the kind invitation and CCLA Investment Management for hosting us. 💡 In the wake of the continuing natural disasters and ongoing conflict, the need for swift and effective disaster relief is vital. We know this well enough through our work at Prism, where we strive to get funds out as swiftly and efficiently to organisations leading the response on the ground. The CAFOD's Every Second Counts Phase Two event hosted at The Conduit, shed more light on this topic. At a time where the need for emergency assistance has reached an all-time high, it was inspiring to see how the CAFOD is harnessing flexible funding to swiftly and effectively respond to hidden emergencies worldwide, through a locally-rooted partnership model. A big thank you to Christine Allen and Neil Thorns for hosting our head of Collective Funds, Anna Cronin-Nowakowska. 💡 We were also delighted to join the Essential Series by The Dura Society to share learning on how donors can maximise their philanthropy through Donor Advised Funds (DAF). Anna Josse, Prism Founder and CEO was interviewed by Lottie Leefe, Founding Director of the Dura Society. Designed to facilitate the giving of individuals, groups and corporates, DAFs offer an efficient, time and cost effective alternative to setting up a foundation. We were also pleased to learn more about the work of the Dura Society, designed to connect, educate and inspire women bringing clarity and confidence to the complexity of wealth.
