Association of Charitable Foundations’ Post

'Often, small charities are overlooked when it comes to funding, especially when there is an understandable desire to get money out quickly. Large grants often go to big charities with larger teams that promise to spend money in a way that national funders can understand and measure. Yet, smaller grants require a less complex application process, can be distributed more quickly and allow local charities to better plan and implement their services. This in turn enables funders to understand impact in a precise, more localised way.' Timely and thought provoking article by Ben Robinson. As community foundations we see the considerable and often life changing impact that small charities and volunteer led groups make at the local and neighbourhood level. #communityfoundations #charities #costoflivingsupport

An incredibly inspiring session that has truly widened my perspective! It's fascinating to explore the various ways organizations can leverage their resources to support worthy causes. But beyond just financial aid directed to beneficiaries, how can businesses contribute to the long-term sustainability of 'for good' organizations? Moreover, in an era of evolving philanthropy, how can these organizations themselves reimagine their models beyond traditional donation frameworks? Equally crucial is the role of government agencies; how might they adopt fresh perspectives to incentivize and facilitate this shift towards more impactful policies and initiatives? #SocialImpact #Sustainability #Philanthropy #companyofgood
