Thanks to the Philea - Philanthropy Europe Association team for such a fabulously-run #PhileaForum2024! Focused on “Trust & Philanthropy” this year, I came away from the week inspired – and cautiously optimistic – about the way #Foundation leaders are starting to change the narratives about their work. Now's the time to put our actions where the intentions are! Some of my personal highlights were: ⌛ The opening keynote about #MoralAmbition – and a call for philanthropy to focus on issues that are important, neglected, and tractable. That’s #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment for you! Rutger Bregman 🕸 A session about Future-Oriented Ecosystems – and the need for more relational infrastructure to support the ‘over-inspired and under-resourced’ changemakers in local communities Alina Porumb, PhD Delphine Moralis Markus Lux Hanna Stähle - https://lnkd.in/e9BWNxVn 🤲 Hearing about an international mental health initiative for young people, established through #Multistakeholder #Collaboration – and how much perseverance, resource, and trust was required to build the ecosystem Fondation Botnar Learning for Well-being Foundation Mieke Visser-Schuurman Ciaran O'Donnell Anette Stein Sandeep Bhamra, CAIA 🗨 A thoughtful panel on the importance of #NarrativePower, and how it's a condition precedent for systems change. Most impactful for me was a question about *who* gets to dream, and *who* is given the space for radical imagination? Great article here about some practical things funders can do: https://lnkd.in/eetJRCnZ Virginia Ruan Isabel Crabtree-Condor Abi Knipe Mandy Van Deven Lucy Blythe 📖 Hearing about shifts away from annual reporting towards #Learning, while still supporting evidence gathering and #storytelling Elisabeth Wilmer Porticus Throughout, there were some stand-out quotes that really resonated: #Collaboration should be our starting point, not the end goal #Time is our most precious resource, a luxury that creates space for innovation and long-term thinking How hard #trust is to build, and how easy it is to lose We need to move away from restricted support, towards #unconditional love and putting people in charge

🚨 Research note of the WEEK! 🚨 Philanthropic foundations in the global policy arena 📄 This article offers a critical examination of how foundations shape global policy and introduces a theoretical framework to analyse their influence in this domain. The key question can be expressed as follows: ‘How do philanthropic foundations influence the global policy arena?’ The authors conclude that the work of foundations in the global policy arena, which is fluid but influential, dampens the influence of external. This should remind scholars of the relevance of exploring the potential promises and problems of philanthropy’s role in policy shaping. ✒ Author(s): Janis Petzinger, Ph.D. – University of St Andrews | Tobias Jung – University of St. Andrews | Kevin Orr – University of St. Andrews 📝 The Research note is written by Raquel Campos Franco from Universidade Católica Portuguesa 🔔 More research notes!

🌟 NEW ARTICLE 🌟 📚 We're thrilled to announce the release of the latest article written by members of our international (USA) and Quebec Hubs: Josh Newton, Mirle Rabinowitz Bussell, Maria Martinez-Cosio, Nancy Pole, and Jean-Marc Fontan. 🌐 Abstract: Though the concept of place-based philanthropy is common parlance in community development scholarship and practice, there is still uncertainty around its meaning due to the multidisciplinary nature of its study and definitional variation among and between scholars and practitioners. This article presents findings from a recently edited volume created by a binational research team. Ten cases of philanthropic initiatives were explored to develop a transnational understanding of foundation engagement in place-based philanthropy. Place-based philanthropy was explored by considering collaboration with other stakeholders, initiative evaluation, systems change efforts, and issues of power, equity, and justice. Our findings suggest that place-based philanthropy among foundations is heterogeneous. While some foundations adhere to traditional forms of place-based philanthropy, others are pushing the boundaries of this type of work. This article urges both academics and practitioners to reimagine place-based philanthropy for transformative purposes. 🔍 Don't miss out on this thought-provoking read!

My Philosophy of Prosperity If you are inclined to a moment's introspection as we wave off the old year and welcome the new, it's a good time to consider how, exactly, you will define "happy" this New Year. I am a fan of the word prosperity. Through my work and life (life's work, actually), I have come to understand that prosperity matters most as a communal concept. An idea supported by so much data, it is impossible to deny. For the fortunate, who have enough and plenty more, even more does nothing to enhance the sum total of our HQ, happiness quotient. In fact, there's plenty of evidence to show that after attaining comfort, and maybe a few extras, adding more doesn't make us that much happier. Harvard University’s Daniel T. Gilbert has proven that even buying experiences - which are more memorable than most stuff - are seldom as satisfying as giving. Takeaway for 2024: Cancer research organizations asking for support aren't really competing among each other for donor dollars. They are seeking support from the enlightened donors who already understand my Philosophy of Prosperity: it's all about the common good.

According to the year-end 2023 Science and Technology Report, the federal government is viewed as the primary driver of U.S. science and technology advancements. Still, the U.S. is perceived to be losing the race for global leadership in science and technology. Over 75% of respondents believe the U.S. is losing or has already lost, and 60% say China will be the leader in five years. Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/gT2qRUG6 We eagerly await the address of National Academy of Science President Marcia McNutt on the current State of Science at the upcoming GUIRR 40th Anniversary event on June 25-26. See more about this event here: https://lnkd.in/gYydw65U The Science Philanthropy Alliance believes this is both a critical and opportune time for philanthropies to help rebuild our science and technology leadership in basic research.
