About us
Giving Compass is a one-stop shop for individual donors to learn about issues, get involved, and give to organizations. Focused on equity, effectiveness, transparency, and systems change, we connect donors to learning content, resources, and tools to give in ways more likely to make a difference. Giving Compass was inspired by Jeff and Tricia Raikes, Co-Founders of the Raikes Foundation. They were enthusiastic about learning how to take their generosity to the next level but found it difficult to find targeted resources to guide their strategic giving. Giving Compass was created to address this opportunity, in collaboration with leading philanthropic organizations.

When it comes to well-being, while self-care is essential, it’s not the whole picture. Collective care — wellness nurtured through community — can provide the support that’s truly needed. Our Content Partner, Camelback Ventures' recent blog highlights the Well Founded Retreat, an initiative designed to support the growth and sustainability of founders of color. By creating a space for rest, connection, and reflection, this retreat showcased the power of communal care in action. As well-being becomes a cause more people are looking to support, understanding the importance of collective care is key to driving meaningful change. Discover why this holistic approach is crucial by diving into the full blog. #Philanthropy #Equity #SocialImpact #CollectiveCare #CamelbackVentures

Whether or not you know exactly who owns what you see, hear, and read, you should know that media has an ownership problem. As media ownership is being consolidated, layoffs are on a steady rise across the sector, and more Americans than ever turn to digital outlets for news. And as platform giants increasingly swallow up revenue that used to support news outlets, they have an outsized ability to sway what appears in people’s news feeds. 📖 Read our latest curated article from our friends at Nonprofit Quarterly: https://lnkd.in/eQkhBg7u #GivingCompass #NGO #Journalism #SocialImpact #Nonprofit #CommunityEngagement #Philanthropy #GlobalDevelopment #SocialGood #Partnership
