Such a powerful conversation with Bina M Patel and Sonia Mathew in collaboration with Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP), Chicago Latines in Philanthropy, Chicago African Americans in Philanthropy, and The Chicago Community Trust. Bina's new book, "Say the Quiet Part Out Loud" is medicine. It's a recentering to purpose, a rallying cry to build out collective care, and a-hug-masquerading-as-a-book for "weary but purposeful hearts." Here's the link to get/gift a copy: https://lnkd.in/gpszp7tk. Community is everything in this work.

Supporting philanthropy, impact investing and social enterprise, especially in wealth management and client services, climatetech and travel and tourism.
Worth a look, given the implications of the US elections to come: learn the ins and outs of political giving, with starter guidance on the rules/options, budget and strategy, and races. And for a look at the 4B tonnes of CO2 climate impact at the Presidential level, see Carbon Brief's analysis: https://lnkd.in/gN27vGGm
As a result of lots of demand and questions from clients and peers, our team at Phīla decided to put together a webinar and a workbook on political giving. In February we hosted our event with experts on the topic. We’re very excited to share this wonderful resource with our community and hope it is useful in thinking about political giving in 2024! Shout out to the wonderful moderators and speakers who made for a great discussion: Janell Turner (formerly Johnson), CAP® Sofia Michelakis Jamie Van Horne Robinson Dionne Foster Kevin Geiger Alexandra Acker-Lyons Watch the webinar and download the political giving webinar here: https://lnkd.in/gtvB-iEm #philanthropy #politicalgiving

What examples can you share of the best mission statements for nonprofit arts organizations (they should effectively communicate not only the work they do, but the impact they have on the communities and people they serve)?

OUT NOW: On our latest episode (the last before we take a break over the summer) we have a fascinating conversation about how to understand and measure generosity around the world, with Pamala Wiepking, Stead Family Chair in International Philanthropy at Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. https://lnkd.in/eGRHGzat Including: -Is “philanthropy” a helpful word in a global context? -Is there any danger that if we broaden our definitions of generosity too far in our efforts to make them more universal, they lose meaning? -Is the role of philanthropy academics simply to observe and analyse giving and generosity, or to encourage it? -Are we in the midst of a "generosity crisis", or is the apparent decline in giving in places like the US, the UK and the Netherlands merely a reflection of the fact that the way we measure generosity has failed to evolve in step with how people actually choose to give?
