🤝 Collaboration for Greater Impact in Philanthropy 🤝 Philanthropy is about more than just giving—it's about working together to address complex global challenges. Whether it’s with fellow philanthropists, non-profit leaders, or community organizations, collaboration is key to creating sustainable, long-term impact. But finding like-minded philanthropists can be challenging. Aligning values, goals, and strategies takes time, and building relationships based on trust and shared vision is not always easy. Yet, when we do connect with the right partners, the results can be extraordinary. At Upahara, we understand this challenge, and we’re committed to bridging that gap. By fostering a community of collaboration, we help philanthropists connect with each other and with non-profits that share their vision for positive change. Pooling resources and sharing insights allows us to amplify our efforts, ensuring our contributions reach those who need them most. Together, we can tackle systemic issues—whether it's poverty, education, or climate change—through collective action and leave a lasting, positive mark on society. Let’s continue building a future where philanthropy is driven by collaboration, even in the face of challenges. #Collaboration #Philanthropy #CollectiveImpact #SocialChange #NonProfitLeadership #Partnerships #Upahara #LeadershipInPhilanthropy #SustainableGiving Photo by James Wainscoat on Unsplash

"Now more than ever, we need the leadership, vision, and brilliance of our nonprofit partners. A more equitable, just approach to accountability is fundamental to supporting them. When funders relinquish control and take responsibility for how we show up, we can cultivate relationships that unleash bold solutions." -Lorrie Fair Allen, Ashlee George, Charlize Theron | Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project For the future of #philanthropy to truly be trust-based we must signal to #nonprofits that accountability goes both ways and must be rooted in mutuality, relationships, and power analysis.

If you are committed to more equitable philanthropic practices, if you believe that we need to fund more BIPOC leaders, those from non-traditional educational backgrounds, those in rural and remote areas ---- then I highly encourage you to read the 15 pages of this new report by New Profit and People Rocket on their process and learnings in their quest to develop an inclusive, diverse and expansive pool of organizations for potential partnership. The knowledge, the innovation, and the problem solving is already happening in communities, by indigenous leaders, and in local movements. We have the responsibility to look beyond our networks and find them. https://lnkd.in/eEpF6r9i #equitablephilanthropy #bigphilanthropy #pipeline #systemschange #algorithmicjustice #15
