We’re rethinking philanthropy— not as a transactional experience but as a cycle of shared responsibility and care. How can everyone, from staff to stakeholders, play a meaningful part in sustaining this cycle? And how can we, together, build communities rooted in generosity and purpose? We’ve launched a 6-week blog series on building a culture of philanthropy! Throughout the series, we’ll dive into practical strategies for expanding your organization’s philanthropic reach, building long-term relationships with new supporters, and showing the value of the arts in your community. Join the conversation as we explore how philanthropy can reshape the future of the arts.

It’s time to redefine trust in philanthropic relationships. Marieme Daff, executive director of Firelight Foundation, emphasises the importance of "letting go" in donor-grantee relationships and allowing communities to define and drive their own success. This shift from traditional philanthropy to community-driven systems change is crucial for sustainable impact. Discover how Firelight put this approach into practice and how it has succeeded in improving lives in the communities in which they work. > https://bit.ly/4eDB8IT #Philanthropy #CommunityEmpowerment #SustainableImpact

From this new Council on Foundations "Coming Together, Not Apart" report: "Division in the United States is certainly not a recent development, but for the past 15 years or so, the U.S. has seemed seized by a novel strain of discord. Particularly since the 2016 election, headlines about toxic polarization— defined here as an “us vs. them” partisan mindset and contempt for political outgroups—have been published ad nauseum. The dynamics of this polarization have been linked to the backsliding of American democracy, as well as a steep rise in political violence. While the connection between toxic polarization and these phenomena may be indirect, there appears to be something unique to the political, media, and societal systems of the United States that is causing toxic polarization to play out in these ways. "From 2016 to 2020, philanthropy invested $9.4 billion to promote democracy, more than twice the total from the previous five years, and philanthropic initiatives aimed at fostering belonging and social cohesion proliferated. "In an October 2023 survey commissioned by the Walton Family Foundation, more than 8 in 10 said they worry about how divided our society is becoming. But they are not resigned to division: Almost 9 in 10 (88%) also said people need to be willing to work together with those holding different beliefs, 2 out of 3 said we can overcome big challenges together if we try, and 8 in 10 said it’s important to listen to people with different opinions." #division #socialcohesion #communitybuilding #pluralism #interfaith #hatecrime #polarization #conflicttransformation #democracy #belonging #inclusion
In our new report, the Council – in partnership with Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE) and New Pluralists – surveyed 133 foundations and conducted 43 in-depth interviews with philanthropic leaders to examine how organizations are counteracting polarization in their communities.
