At Oak Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of unrestricted funding, or core support. In her blog post for Center for Effective Philanthropy, Silvia Guizzardi, our senior adviser for impact, delves into the evidence behind unrestricted funding and why it enables organisations to invest in their people, strengthen their operations, and amplify their impact. Read more about her findings and why unrestricted funding matters: https://lnkd.in/eyWcdpdr
NEW on the CEP blog, Oak Foundation's Silvia Guizzardi examines the evidence for "core" or "unrestricted" funding, including CEP's new report on the impact of MacKenzie Scott's big gifts, and finds that it "has the power to unlock more organizations' full potential and to allow a vibrant and resilient not-for-profit sector to continue to exist — and to succeed in bringing about positive and meaningful changes in our communities and societies."
