Philanthropy Ireland’s Post

Doing page proofs for our forthcoming #CommunityInvestment 2.0 paper exploring evolving approaches to corporate responsibility, community partnerships and programs, philanthropy, volunteering, pro bono etc.. In it, Emily Heath has coined the phrase "Give-flation" and even though it's a bit of a 'sneak peak', it's too great not to share... it describes the tendency we are observing of organisations finding ways to make increasingly large claims about the size of their corporate community investment (something I know many others have been noticing, also)... how good is this sentence: "This sort of ‘give-flation’ traps organisations into a reputational arms race, publishing increasingly large corporate giving numbers that at the same time are increasingly meaningless and hollow to employees, communities and other stakeholders (and that demonstrate a solipsistic focus on the organisation itself rather than on the communities it serve)." If that doesn't whet your appetite, you're a harsh judge of copy! Looking forward to sharing the full edition soon. Thought Andie Dalziell, Megan Ball, Linda Hodgson, Terence Jeyaretnam and Yasmeen Wang in particular might like that one.

Transformative Philanthropy is a concept of philanthropy to drive meaningful change and impact in social justice.

How can public agencies re-think their community engagement practices, prioritizing people historically excluded from access to power and decision-making? And what is the role of philanthropy in this work? Funders, join us for webinar on January 24 where we'll discuss what it looks like to have successful community engagement by public agencies. We'll explore different examples of California public health and education agencies that have successfully transformed their engagement strategies, as well as explain how philanthropic dollars can effectively support sustainable government transformation.
