The Philanthropy Column
Abstract
When I was in school, I looked forward to receiving the teacher’s summer reading list. I enjoyed having goals and reading my way through the list every summer. With my school days behind me, I still always make a list, though typically only manage to get about a quarter of the way through it; summer is always busier than we think. Author Lucy Bernholz, Founder and President of Blueprint Research & Design, Inc., was at the top of my reading list this summer. With the guidance of Bernholz’s Philanthropy and Social Investing Blueprint 2011, I am making my way through the vast landscape of impact investing. It is an area of philanthropy that I have been concentrating on and in the spirit of this edition of the Philadelphia Social Innovations Journal, I thought I would explore impact investing as it relates to health.
Both philanthropy and health are individually undergoing profound transformation with much debate privately and publicly. No doubt the result has been and will be a dramatic change in how each field is practiced. This column is about the confluence of these two sectors as it relates to the financial support received by health providers and organizations from foundations and other non-government funders.
