Power Giving: How to Make the Most of Your Philanthropy Impact
Two-thirds of U.S. philanthropy comes from individuals not foundations. Effective individual donors understand the intersection between philanthropy, power, opportunity and equity.
Philanthropic “Power Givers” do 3 things:
1. Give to groups that build community power and movements.
2. Share power with grantees.
3. Wield their power, access and assets for positive impact.
Uncover how your philanthropy can break through barriers to lasting equitable impact with this comprehensive, one-of-a-kind self-assessment tool.
