Since 2014, Charlie Lovett '77 and the Lovett Foundation have donated $2,500 to Summit School, enabling the 9th grade class to make a gift to a local nonprofit organization. The students collaborate with our development office to learn about philanthropy, the Lovett Foundation, and deserving organizations in our community. Approximately 5-7 agencies submit a grant application to Summit. The students and staff review the applications, ask questions of the organizations, and have robust conversations about how to narrow the field. The 2024 recipient of the 9th Grade Philanthropy Project grant is the A. Bailey Legacy Foundation for Women. This philanthropic foundation celebrates and invests in the lives of women and girls of color through scholarships and education, award recognition, health development projects, humanitarian efforts, and mentor programs. Dr. Alicia Bailey accepted the grant at the Welcome New Alums Breakfast this morning. #SociallyResponsible #Honorable

Did you know that less than 2% of philanthropic contributions (in the US) are directed towards #girlsandwomen organisations? At $ 8.8 billion, the pandemic saw a 9.2% increase in philanthropic giving to girls and women organisations, yet this figure is so low. #Reproductivehealth and #familyplanning organisations received the greatest amount of philanthropic support and some subsectors such as women’s and girls’ arts and culture, and women’s and #girlseducation received an unexpected boost in charitable giving from 2019 to 2020. This growth may be explained in part by the influence of a few large donations on relatively small areas of #philanthropy. How can we direct more funders as well as quantum of funding towards girls and women? https://lnkd.in/dsMDEAFG

Check your calendars, this is going to be a good one! Register now for our next FREE Alliance Monthly Webinar coming up one week from today, Thursday, September 14 from 9-10a! Topic: Giving Big, Unrestricted Gifts for Nonprofits MacKenzie Scott’s giving has shaken up the philanthropic landscape. Her gifts are, at the median, 80 times the size of the typical grant of staffed foundations. They are totally unrestricted, often totally unexpected, and reveal a clear focus on equity and justice. Many observers have noted that Scott’s approach is the most interesting natural experiment in philanthropic practice in recent memory — raising many questions: What is the experience of organizations that receive these gifts? How do they use the resources? Are there unintended consequences? Are other donors, individuals or foundations, emulating Scott’s approach? During this webinar, our presenter Elisha Smith Arrillage, PhD will explore these and other questions based on findings from the second year of CEP’s three-year research effort to examine the effects of Scott’s giving. Elisha will also offer an exclusive preview of findings that will be released in late 2023 as well as engage in a lively debate about the implications of Scott’s approach. #alliancewebinar #nonprofit #nonprofitsector #nonprofitorganization #philanthropy #philanthropymatters #nonprofitgiving #philanthropicefforts #alliancems #nonprofitdonors #nonprofitsupport #freewebinar
