Which came first—the campaign or the case? Campaigns play a crucial role in elevating giving and program performance for organizations. Philanthropy without campaigning is akin to training for a marathon but never running the race. However, the traditional approach of waiting for a fully articulated strategic plan before constructing a case can lead to missed opportunities. Instead, adopting an organic approach, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s philosophy of unity between form and function can lead to more effective campaigning.

We redefine philanthropy. It's not just about checks; it's about empowering our team's passions. We don't dictate; we delegate. Our employees direct giving, making an impact where their hearts lead. We match their contributions, ensuring our community involvement mirrors our people's values. It's not just corporate giving; it's a shared journey.

In moments of crisis, it is important for philanthropy to shift and support the strategic priorities of movement. Our previous blog, "Finding Purpose in Philanthropy" reminds of us this. In the blog, our Director of Programs & Movement Support, Shavaun Evans states, "I’m often seeking out opportunities to connect and learn from other values-aligned folk in the field. By values aligned, I mean people who are unlearning what traditional philanthropy teaches us (short-term, donor-dictated transactions) and shifting their practices towards ones that intentionally make space for grassroots voices to guide and lead their work."
