The website for our Philanthropy Lab – an innovative, transformative space for funders – is now live!  🎉 The Philanthropy Lab is a place for philanthropic funders to connect, develop new forms of strategy, and work together towards greater impact. We believe that to see the fundamental changes our world needs, we must transform how philanthropy happens. The Lab is a place in which to set greater goals together, work across silos and foster systemic change. It is a space to learn about and put into practice new models, transformative structures, and new forms of collective action. Our guiding star is to support economies in service to life, with three active workstreams currently: 👉 Evolving the tax system to serve life 👉 Going beyond ESG 👉 Supporting the rights of nature movement Intrigued?

We have been posting short videos on innovation challenges all leaders face, through the lens of our experience working with philanthropic organizations. The last in our series, this video talks about how foundation strategic focus is often too general and lacking sufficient definition to drive specific change. It introduces a more effective human-centered process that ensures strategy defines the ideal levers for change that are viable for the foundation and its capabilities; and aligned with the purpose of the organization.

Are you a business owner or entrepreneur working in the nonprofit sector? As business consultants, we often find many nonprofits focusing purely on their individual missions, overlooking the potential for exponential impact through thoughtful collaboration and long-term investment. Systemic change, rather than transactional relationships, could be the key to creating substantial, lasting impacts. Think partnership and alliances, think robust data analysis, talent development, and measurement systems. Wondering how to embed these approaches into your nonprofit's strategy for greater impact? We encourage you to reflect on your organization's current strategies and the potential for a more collaborative, long-term investment approach. Reach out and let us guide you through this transformative process. #nonprofit #collaboration #longterminvestment #systemicchange

It’s easy to follow the well-trodden path, adopting conventional strategies and approaches. But what if the most impactful philanthropy requires marching to the beat of your own drum? Philanthropy is about more than just giving money; it's about making a difference. Sometimes, that means challenging conventional wisdom and redefining the rules. 🚀 Why Marching to the Beat of Our Own Drum Matters 1️⃣ Innovation: The most significant advancements often come from those who dare to think differently. By challenging established norms, we can discover innovative ways to address complex issues. 2️⃣ Targeted Impact: When we listen to the requests of others instead of focusing on our point of view, we have the opportunity to give where it’s needed the most. It's about being intentional and strategic. 3️⃣ Inspiring Change: Embracing our unique perspectives, values and goals can inspire others to join the cause. Our bold actions can ignite a ripple effect of positive change in the philanthropic community. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to philanthropic advising. Instead, it is in the moments of divergence - of embodying our authenticity and challenging the status quo - that the greatest impact is achieved. #impact #PurposeDrivenGiving #philanthropy

What if everyone had the power to shape the future? 💭 At The Million Project, our vision is a world where every individual can make an impact—no matter how small—on the causes that matter to them. We dream of a global community where charity is no longer limited by wealth, geography, or status. In this world, anyone with the will to help can drive real, lasting change. For far too long, the power to influence big societal shifts has been held in the hands of a few. But what if we all had a voice? What if each of us could help decide where resources go and which causes deserve the most attention? We’re creating a future where millions of voices come together to decide the future of philanthropy. A future where small contributions can lead to massive transformations. A future where everyone—no matter who they are or where they come from—can help build a better world. It’s not just about charity. It’s about empowerment. Together, we can reimagine how change happens and create a world where every single one of us has the power to make a difference. Are you ready to be part of it? 🌍
