Aligning Values and Actions in the #Philanthropic Sector Our recent #ImpactCollab Roundtable revealed an interesting insight: while our individual values align with philanthropic ideals, our institutional practices may not always reflect this. We are committed to bridging this gap and fostering a more impactful philanthropic sector. More details 👇 #Philanthropy #SocialImpact #Governance
The look of surprise among the most experienced Charity Governance Champions underscores how far our institutional assumptions have drifted from our collective values. In a blind polling, our individual values were collectively aligned, standing in stark contrast to what our own sector has been prioritizing. This poll was conducted late October in the inaugural ImpactCollab Expert Roundtable, in which we delivered on the Collaboration mission in our namesake. Represented were a diverse group of 3 Members of Parliament, 5 ministries and statutory boards, 6 private banks, 8 family offices, fellow ecosystem builders, and academics. We deep dived with SMU into developing a Governance Maturity Scorecard for Asia, and Bridgespan facilitated closing the between private wealth clients and their relationship managers through philanthropy. So what are we doing to realign the institutional assumptions with our collective values? This is the first of a series of expert roundtables hosted by Bloomberg to explore this topic, so stay tuned for more insights. #ImpactInAction #ImpactCollab Vandna Ramchandani (She/Her) Dean Thomson Patricia Or Tracy Ying Usha Chandradas Carrie Tan Kai Xiang Teo Tania Ng Brenda Teng Siok-Koon Lee Brian Theng Joshua Gei Kihui Teh Rani Kaur Liying, Lynn Ong Faye Ong Patricia Lee Eng Cher Goh Weng Leong Ow Yong Eugenia Koh Angela Koh Abbie Jung-Harada Robin Pho Diana Watson Joycelyn Ong Jia Xian Seow Steve Loh Tasnim Abdul Hadi Mae Urquhart Kevin Teo Anindita Bose Moutushi Sengupta Debrah Jiang Anupama Anand Bloomberg AVPN
