The Philanthropy Column
Abstract
IntroductionMuch is happening in the world of philanthropy. There is a wider emphasis on strategy and a greater focus on impact. The notion of using today’s money to solve today’s problems is becoming more accepted, and the infrastructure to support the transfer of capital to social and environmental causes is changing dramatically. I will explore these topics and more in a regular column focusing on philanthropy from the perspectives of the funder and the donor, as well as the investment capital behind the innovation.
My children often ask what I do for work. They can barely pronounce the word “philanthropy.” (In their defense, they are 5, 4 and 1.) My first column explores and better defines the growing industry of philanthropic advising. It is an industry built on educating grantmakers. I have asked fellow advisors in the Greater Philadelphia area to weigh in on the profession and share their views on the changing needs and interests of their clients.
