No Returns, No Problem: Philanthropy Gets Creative and Brave
Institutional philanthropy - sophisticated work plans, quantifiable theories of change, and detailed budgets - have dominated the zeitgeist. But what if they were deprioritized, and instead, learning defined success? In a moment when culture and power are shifting societal norms, private philanthropy provides a unique tool to foster change without requiring traditional returns. This panel explores new models of getting creative with private philanthropy, featuring four experts who will discuss trust-based, relational, and no-strings-attached approaches to inspire more curiosity in the sector.
