We need to see a transition from competition to synergy across the charity and philanthropy sector in 2024. Through collaboration, non-profits and donors can greatly enhance their impact. By sharing internal research, successes, and failures with each other, charities working to solve the same or overlapping issues can reduce replication, freeing up time and resources. By pooling funds, philanthropists can contribute to larger projects that they couldn't fund alone and, more importantly, combine their expertise to provide more valuable support to the charities they work with. Together, we can create sustainable solutions, tackle inequality, and build a more resilient future. #collaboration #philanthropy #charity #nonprofit #globalimpact

Looking for funding to boost your charities reach?

Philanthropists should donate to projects focused on generating knowledge and understanding – not achieving a predetermined impact metric. Equally, charities should pitch projects to philanthropists on the basis of the new understanding they could create. If a charity secures funding from a donor to supply clean water to 500 off-grid homes, they are limiting themselves to this number, unless they receive more funding. If, instead, they secure funding to experiment with new models for supplying clean water to off-grid homes, the project’s impact could be endless. The latter project also cannot ‘fail’. Whatever the outcome, valuable lessons will have been learned, which will go on to guide future projects. Charities and philanthropists have traditionally been too focused on achieving a predetermined impact through traditional means. This is holding the charity sector back. #fundraising #charity #philanthropy
