🌟 New Insights on the Power of Collective Giving! 🌟 A groundbreaking report from Philanthropy Together, titled “In Abundance: An Analysis of the Thriving Landscape of Collective Giving in the U.S.,” reveals the incredible impact of giving circles. Since 2017, nearly 4,000 groups have mobilized over 370,000 philanthropists to direct more than $3.1 billion towards vital nonprofit efforts. This isn't just about money. It's about fostering community and democracy through inclusive, grassroots philanthropy. 🤝💖 📈 Key highlights: Giving circles embed racial and ethnic equity, prioritizing support for marginalized communities. Participants are significantly engaged in civic activities, promoting social change and unity. On average, members stay involved for over seven years, creating lasting community bonds. "Collective giving is not just a side movement, it's a force to be reckoned with." - Isis Krause, Chief Strategy Officer, Philanthropy Together. Let's celebrate how collective giving nurtures connections and empowers voices. Together, we are building a more democratic, engaged, and compassionate world. ✨ Read more about this inspiring movement and how you can get involved: https://lnkd.in/ejQtrygE #Philanthropy #CommunityGiving #CivicEngagement #NonprofitSupport #TVNPA #TriValleyNonprofitAlliance #GivingCircles

I was speaking with a donor recently. They were recently widowed, and while they have the financial capacity to achieve some significant impact with their giving, they were struggling to make the decisions on their own. It wasn't just that they were missing their spouse over the holidays, but also that they weren't accustomed to or comfortable with the authority they all the sudden had to make giving decisions. We talked about the issues they wanted to support, the communities and stakeholders that would be the beneficiaries, and the resources available to them to help navigate the upcoming end-of-year giving cycle. When I saw this article today from Milken Institute it resonated: https://lnkd.in/edggYb46; these points in particular stuck out to me: ✅ Align giving with long-term goals to maximize social value. ✅ Invest in partnerships that amplify resources and expertise. ✅ Balance short-term wins with efforts that lay the foundation for enduring impact. Good reminders for all of us as we think about our end of year (giving) plans--regardless of the size of our gifts, we can achieve more when we think it through and plan for the immediate and long-term impact we're hoping to achieve. #Philanthropy #CorporateResponsibility #SocialImpact #NonprofitLeadership

Here is something I think our industry can celebrate...family foundations are shifting from donor-centric to community-driven philanthropy, with 72% now focusing on their mission and community needs over individual board interests—a notable rise from 57% in 2015. Social Impact Advising Group collaborates with families and funders to navigate these bold shifts, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and collective impact. By centering the voices and needs of those served, we help ensure that philanthropy creates sustainable, impactful change that resonates far beyond individual preferences. I love helping organizations listen and respond to community need. #FamilyPhilanthropy #SocialImpact #MissionDriven
