For Moses Mukasa, MPA, CFRE, Director of Donor Services at Vancouver Foundation, philanthropy is more than generosity—it’s about collaboration. With years of experience working closely with donors, Moses finds purpose in understanding their motivations and helping them find the way they can make the greatest impact. He reflects on the importance of bridging gaps, particularly for organizations that have historically been overlooked—like those serving Indigenous or BIPOC communities. By connecting donors with these organizations, Moses helps donors direct their support to the community’s greatest needs, creating meaningful and lasting change. This #GivingTuesday, let’s bridge the gaps together. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/g28pS9dK

An article published in Axios on April 2nd by Felix Salmon highlighted collective giving as the fastest-growing form of philanthropy in America. Collective giving in the form of giving circles, shared community funds and pooled grant making are shaking up traditional philanthropy and offering a glimpse into the future of a more inclusive and democratic philanthropic sector. Collective giving is taking the fundraising and philanthropic community by storm! Movements are gaining traction, and new research already shows the value of this collaborative and trust-based approach. Key takeaways from a 2023 report published by the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy that analyzed the landscape of collective giving in the US: 📌 Collective giving is a catalyst for social cohesion and change! 📌 Giving tends to support small, community organizations. This funding is often locally concentrated.  📌Rather than being focused on metrics, groups practicing collective giving tend to be more motivated by inclusion and cultivating equity. #nonprofit #philanthropy #grantmaking #community #axios https://lnkd.in/ge7A2riu

📌 [Report] - Social Connectedness and Generosity: A Look at How Associational Life and Social Connections Influence Volunteering and Giving (and Vice Versa) This report, the second of two reports that the Do Good Institute has produced for the Generosity Commission, focuses on the ways in which interpersonal relationships and participation in community associations and organizations influence the decisions people make about donating money or contributing their time to organizations. The report found that people who volunteered in the previous year were more likely to give in the current year by 14.5 percent, and people who gave in the previous year were 9.3 percent more likely to volunteer in the current year.    Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dWQ9aBaf . . . . #GivingTuesday #GivingTuesdayAfrica #UbuntuGiving #AfricanPhilanthropy #CommunityEmpowerment #GivingChallenge #Generosity #GivingTuesdayIdeas #GivingIdeas #Generosity #Sustainability #GivingEveryTuesday #AThousandWaysToGive"
