🏗️Sustainable Development Spotlight! Last week, I kicked off a six-week series spotlighting practitioners and community leaders working in equitable and sustainable development. These testimonials, gathered by the International Society for Urban Health (ISUH) team, feature inspiring stories from around the globe of changemakers working to build healthy spaces, improve infrastructure, and drive health equity. Check out our latest spotlight–it might even spark an idea for your community! Vibrant public spaces are essential for ensuring the social, physical, and economic wellbeing of residents. When designed as attractive, welcoming gathering places for people of all ages, these spaces can foster social interactions, support the local economy, improve resident health, and more. Drawing on examples from Bogotá, Colombia, Gil (Guillermo) Penalosa Penalosa of 8 80 Cities shares about the power of building equitable and inclusive spaces, like parks and public facilities, and how these spaces can transform urban areas. Learn more about equitable city planning and explore other stories on community-led health equity initiatives: https://lnkd.in/eZsuT9bf

A couple days ago we listened to a fascinating presentation by Elena Ortiz from Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security who worked on this report that said women's lot in life has improved by only 3% on average globally. I found it interesting and encouraging, that there is a strong correlation between women's wellbeing and the wellbeing of the nation as seen in HDI, climate adaptation, state resilience and rule of law. Ergo, improving conditions for women will lead to positive outcomes for the whole country and this should play a larger part in Malaysia's policy goals. What I found interesting and absolutely disturbing however is that Malaysia ranked right after Saudi Arabia - how am I and my fellow Malaysian women worse off than in Saudi? If you read the report, Saudi has more cellphone usage, parliamentary representation, less legal discrimination and better community safety. I do take this with a pinch of salt as I guess that Malaysia has better data collection than Saudi. Therefore, our problems would be thrown into sharper light. Still, the fact that we are anywhere even close to a country that's typically seen as very regressive in its treatment of women is a warning that Malaysia needs to buck up. https://lnkd.in/eijAWccY

Today, on Earth Day, I'm celebrating the relentless advocates and campaigners who drive change forward, inch by inch. I discuss their results and efforts in my latest book and in a recent article for Edie. As a case in point, despite facing new regulations and mixed sentiments around ESG initiatives, particularly in the US, there's a noticeable shift towards what I call ‘Green Implementation.’ Yes, there are gaps in these regulations—like the SEC’s proposals that overlook Scope 3 emissions and a predominant focus on how climate change affects businesses rather than how businesses affect the environment. And yes, the risk of greenwashing is real and calls for stricter oversight, even on well-intended actions like recycling. However, the direction is clear and irreversible. The path forward for businesses is to adapt and innovate in ways that genuinely contribute to environmental sustainability. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eYb78pbf And get my book here: https://gtly.ink/AaocdOMvI Let's continue to push for meaningful changes that honor our planet every day, not just on #EarthDay.

Thrilled to be showcased in Tipping Point Community’s annual report about its work on reducing poverty in the Bay Area, including for immigrants through workforce inclusion. Thanks to the support of Tipping Point’s network of funders for over a decade, Upwardly Global has been able to multiply its impact and help remove the employment barriers that prevent immigrant and refugee job seekers in San Francisco from obtaining skill-aligned work. In 2023 alone, we helped more than 1,000 job seekers in the Bay Area get a new job with an average starting salary of $72,000. In some cases, the job seekers that we worked with tripled their salary in less than a year. Tipping Point recognizes the critical importance of creating pathways to enable individuals at risk of poverty to secure well-paying jobs aligned with their skills and, consequently, unlock a brighter future. They also understand the importance of immigrants for cities like San Francisco. Investing in their integration and success is not just a choice but a necessity for maintaining thriving cities and communities. #Philanthropy #PhilanthropyMatters https://lnkd.in/e5Z5xnwt

💡 ⚡ 👊 "All of our research indicates one key truth: FIELD CATALYSTS ARE AMONG THE HIGHEST-LEVERAGE INVESTMENTS PHILANTHROPY CAN MAKE when it comes to equitable systems change." (caps are mine) YES!...The Bridgespan Group we couldn't agree more! Here we share some reflections on running NCP's Economic System Change Lab...and playing a field catalyst role in support of leaders working day and night to transform the economic system so it actually works for more people--and the planet--and not just a privileged few. "The New Capitalism Project (NCP) Lab has been an experiment in how to incubate a set of inter-related ideas for action and bridge them towards a group’s shared vision for a transformed economic system. From the outset, the NCP Lab has focused on cultivating deep connections and trust among a range of leaders in service of supporting more connected and systemic ways of working together. We believe this kind of collective leadership and coordinated action are critical enabling conditions for driving system health. What we also know is that investments in enabling conditions such as these are hard to “projectize” and therefore harder to fund; and the qualitative and emergent nature of their impact often does not fit well into typical grantmaking reports."

I found this article by Kristen Cambell of Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement (PACE) in the The Chronicle of Philanthropy to make a world of sense and to be very timely. The time and energy that we spend on "purity tests" where self-righteous "purists" on issues like climate change, Gaza, etc. accuse more pragmatic allies of not being committed or extreme enough are mostly divisive and harmful to the causes we believe in. In my opinion, the powerlessness people feel on issues they care about prompts them to go too far in the only thing they feel that they can control -- how extreme a position to take and the extent to which they try to impose it on others. Frankly, I am tired of being told that my position on the Gaza crisis -- which includes strong condemnation of the Israeli response, support for a Palestinian state, and opposition to terrorism and antisemitism in all of their forms -- does not go far enough. The author describes these purists well: "When speaking on issues, they may take moralistic, finite, and absolutist stances that do not leave room for other good-faith perspectives. Often, despite their best intentions, a lack of proximity to the issues means they can’t see the complexities and nuances under the surface." Most social change is incremental and is the result of years of building alliances, tactical compromises that are rooted in enduring values, and other actions that combine urgency, creativity, and pragmatism while acknowledging the kind of nuance that the author references.

Check your assumptions. Philanthropy does not look the same in every community. Christal Cherry’s post on “What Fundraisers Should Know About Black Philanthropy” in Greater Public’s blog last summer is inspiring: "'The term philanthropy does not fully embrace just how diverse the nature of giving is, in practice. At its core, the practice of philanthropy is rooted in an unspoken contract committed to the collective benefit of the community.' (Muhmmad, 2021) Black people embrace and understand this and have relied on our full spectrum of giving to survive and thrive for centuries. It is time to shift the narrative and see the Black community as individuals who are actively engaged in philanthropy by both supporting and creating solutions to uplift one another. We know the definition of philanthropy extends beyond financial giving."

Check out these testimonials from recent #Antiracist #Results-Based Accountability (AR #RBA) workshop participants (below) and join us in July-August 2024! https://bit.ly/AR-RBA-2024 "This unlocked a new level for me. It made what had previously not seemed actionable, actionable. It helped me connect in concrete ways how the ways that we show up inside our organization are related to how we show up outside in the world." "This series was powerful & had a profound impact on me. It brought me to a place of vulnerability different from other trainings I've done. There was tremendous safety & I was pushed beyond my comfort zone to face grief I feel about white supremacy, racism & areas of complicity." "I'm trying to recall if I was ever so equally impacted by vibe and content. This made me feel excitement about the connections and feelings of hope that *this can work*!" "The skill-building in this workshop was so valuable, but even better to build these skills in community! I can feel the sustainability and solidarity of our cohort."

A fantastic article from Sarah Moody (per Center for Effective Philanthropy) on reimagining the program officer role. The critical (and often tough) questions that started the process: 1. How are we ever going to be effective at addressing root causes of health inequities through systems change if we are not willing to change our own internal systems? 2. How do we build real relationships if we are not willing to be honest and transparent about our own faults, learnings, and willingness to grow? 3. How do we serve and collaborate with communities across Missouri if we are not actively engaged with, living in, learning from, and involving community members? Grantmakers, take the time to consider these questions and start your own process. It might be hard work, but it will absolutely be worth it in the end and your grantees will be incredibly appreciative.

As we know, without additional information or guidance, many coastal donors tend to fund locally or in geographies they are familiar with. Grateful to Inside Philanthropy for recognizing The Just Trust as one of the key organizations funding and partnering with criminal justice leaders in the South, one of the most under-resourced areas for philanthropy and investment in our issue area. This is how to develop solutions that can work in all 50 states and political contexts. Full article here: https://lnkd.in/g_ky4VKz

🌎 At The Resource Foundation, we connect US donors with amazing local organizations across Latin America and the Caribbean. 💡 This Stanford Social Innovation Review article is spot on! As connectors, we have a unique opportunity to open doors and dismantle barriers in philanthropy. 🌟 Many intermediaries operate globally, but we focus exclusively on Latin America and the Caribbean. This allows us to provide our donors with the most informed and expert recommendations. What are your thoughts on the future of philanthropy? Let's break down these walls together! ➡️ #LatinAmerica #Caribbean #intermediaries #philanthropy

A thought on how to approach the present, and concerning, situation Perhaps my favorite analyst of politics, social phenomena and sociology, Míriam Juan-Torres González from the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley, writes this insightful piece (see link below) on how Authoritarian Populists (far right leaders) are embracing and using "intersectionality" and other strategies in very effective ways. Language like "defending democracy" and "systemic racism" are increasingly being used (successfully) by leaders that are proposing legislation that undermines democratic institutions and principles and further marginalizes minorities. Miriam's article leads one to realize that it's not enough to repeat these mantras or look to the past: completely new strategies are required to bridge gaps between people, understand pain and difficulties from all, and find powerful messages and narratives that include the most unlikely of people. I'm not sure how to do this, exactly, or whether positive changes will come before we first go through some very difficult times. Indeed, I lately find myself much more discouraged, and asking deep existential questions about the models for change we have, that seem to be fairly unsuccessful. But I also know I can't give up now, for the sake of those that I love and care for. My guess is that the way forward must include a couple things: (1) The belief that change is not only enacted from above (the powerful, those who hold power and have the biggest check-books) but that it can and is moved from those that live in a normal world: we must know we are powerful changemakers and be trained to discern messages that we hear to really understand what is being said. (2) Togetherness: this applied in two ways, on the one hand, at a very high strategic level – unless we bring multiple stakeholders together to re-analyze problems from scratch, it is unlikely we will be able to find solutions that really are new and get to the root of the problem. On the other hand, togetherness in the sense of bridging (that Miriam refers to in her wonderful article) – we need to find and build those bridges, resisting the pull towards being right and yelling louder to prove it. This is, indeed, the most difficult to apply because it requires inner work – silent, long, frustrating, inner work which our jobs and entertainment and social environment are designed to hamper. Check out the article if you will, Miriam's thinking always makes me stop and reconsider. https://lnkd.in/dqZiwzGg

Discernment of Philanthropy from Last Century: The landscape of philanthropy has dramatically evolved from the early 20th century to the present. In the early 1900s, philanthropy was largely driven by big Religious Organizations to a few wealthy individuals and families who made substantial contributions to public institutions such as libraries, universities, and hospitals. Organizations Like Missionaries of Charity, Caritas International, Ramakrishna Mission, Figures like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller were emblematic of this era, focusing on building enduring legacies through large-scale projects and endowments. Their approach was often paternalistic, with a top-down mindset about how to address societal issues. As the 20th century progressed, the scope and nature of philanthropy began to shift. The mid-century saw the rise of corporate philanthropy, where businesses started to play a significant role in charitable activities. Foundations like the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation became prominent, channeling substantial resources into addressing global issues like poverty, public health, and education. Entering the 21st century, philanthropy has become even more diverse and democratized. The advent of the internet and digital platforms has enabled broader participation from individuals across different economic backgrounds. Crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe and Kickstarter have empowered ordinary people to contribute to causes they care about, often resulting in swift and substantial fundraising efforts for various initiatives. Social media has further amplified this effect, allowing causes to gain visibility and support rapidly. Moreover, contemporary philanthropy emphasizes strategic giving and impact measurement. Modern philanthropists, including tech entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, focus on data-driven approaches to ensure their contributions yield measurable and sustainable outcomes. This era has seen the rise of concepts such as impact investing and social entrepreneurship, where the lines between for-profit and non-profit activities blur, aiming for both financial returns and social good. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards collaborative philanthropy, where multiple stakeholders, including non-profits, governments, and private enterprises, work together to tackle complex global challenges. This collaborative approach reflects recognition that multifaceted problems like climate change, global health, and inequality require coordinated efforts and diverse perspectives. In essence, the face of philanthropy has transitioned from a predominantly elite, institution-building endeavor to a more inclusive, strategic, and collaborative field. This evolution mirrors broader societal changes, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and the collective impact of diverse contributions.

Considering the recent news about the Biden administration’s Executive Order barring migrants who come to our southern border, this couldn’t be a more timely conversation. If you’re a funder and wondering what you can do, come to this session I am moderating and learn about the the data that supports ongoing advocacy for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. #MigrationIsAHumanRight

Mexico made history this weekend by breaking the glass ceiling and electing their first-ever female president, in a rare contest between two women. But, as Madam Ellen Sirleaf Johnson and I write, halfway through this year of unprecedented elections, Mexico is an exception. None of the world’s three most populous countries voting this year–Indonesia, India and the United States–have women as major candidates. Out of 18 African countries holding an election, only one–Namibia–is likely to see a woman become president. We need to reverse this trend, not just to ensure women are equally represented at the highest political levels, but also to build fairer societies that cast away oppressive and discriminatory barriers, prioritizing policies that are critical to sustainable development and the promotion of human rights. As women around the world challenge authoritarianism on the frontlines, we need to stand with them. At the Open Society Foundations, we have established the Women’s Political Leadership Fund to back the feminist leaders driving transformative change in their societies. We need other funders to step up, too.

NEW REPORT: The Research Team at the Center for Effective Philanthropy just released today the "State of Nonprofits 2024: What Funders Need to Know." This report is based on an annual survey of U.S. nonprofits that receive foundation funding. The findings highlight ongoing issues with burnout and staffing within nonprofits. Interestingly, nonprofit leaders are now increasingly concerned about their own burnout, impacting their organization's mission achievement.
