Podcasts about high impact philanthropy

Why This Episode Is a Must-Watch Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Have you ever pondered the true impact of philanthropy and how you can make a difference beyond monetary donations? Whether you are a seasoned philanthropist or just starting to explore the power of giving, this episode of Inspired Money is essential viewing. Learn from top experts on how to give smarter, more meaningfully, and create a significant impact through collective and strategic philanthropy. Meet the Expert Panelists Sara Lomelin is the founding CEO of Philanthropy Together, where she'ss growing a global movement of collective giving to resource grassroots nonprofits, shift power dynamics, and diversify philanthropy. A philanthropy disruptor and expert in collective giving, Sara frequently speaks at high-profile events like TED and Netroots Nation, sharing her vision for democratizing philanthropy and empowering everyone to become a philanthropist. Dr. Akhtar Badshah is the founder of Catalytic Innovators Group and former head of Microsoft's global philanthropic efforts, where he oversaw community investments and employee contributions for over a decade. Currently a Distinguished Practitioner at the University of Washington, Dr. Badshah is the author of Purpose Mindset: How Microsoft Inspires Employees and Alumni to Change the World and a leading voice in leveraging corporate and philanthropic resources for global social impact. Emily Rasmussen is the founder and CEO of Grapevine , the leading platform for giving circles, which empowers donors to pool resources and create greater impact together, helping to democratize and diversify philanthropy. With a background in social entrepreneurship and nonprofit strategy, Emily has pioneered innovative fundraising models, previously serving as the founding Executive Director of New York University's Center for Ballet and the Arts and leading initiatives at Lincoln Center and Enterprise Solutions to Poverty. Richard Marker is the faculty co-director for executive education programs at the Center for High Impact Philanthropy and a philanthropy advisor with Wise Philanthropy™, where he guides foundations and individual philanthropists on strategic decision-making. With decades of experience, Marker has served as CEO of a major foundation, taught globally, and coined the term "philanthro-ethics" to address ethical considerations in philanthropy. Key Highlights 1. The Power of Collective Giving Emily Rasmussen of Grapevine emphasized how giving circles can pool resources to create a significant impact. "Collaborative funds not only increase the amount of money donated, but they also direct funds to underfunded grassroots organizations," stated Emily. This democratizes philanthropy and ensures a diversified funding landscape for meaningful change. 2. Trust-Based Philanthropy Dr. Akhtar Badshah passionately argued the need to move beyond traditional giving. "We need to rethink how we want young people to feel part of the community and show up with purpose," said Akhtar. He believes in rebuilding trust and focusing on showing up as part of the community beyond just financial contributions. 3. Transparent and Ethical Giving Richard Marker's insights into ethical philanthropy revolved around transparency and the ethical use of power. "If a grantee can say no to a funder, that means there's a level of trust that can move the discussion along," remarked Richard. This underlines the importance of maintaining transparency and balancing the power dynamics in philanthropic relationships. 4. Leveraging Technology Sara Lomelin and Emily Rasmussen both highlighted the transformative role of technology. From facilitating remote giving circles to equalizing access to information, tech enables broader participation and efficient, impactful giving. During the COVID-19 pandemic, platforms like Grapevine and Zoom ensured continuous support to nonprofits when they needed it the most. Call-to-Action Inspired by this discussion? Take a step towards purposeful philanthropy today. Find one step you can take to give more intentionally this week. Maybe it's joining a giving circle (check out Grapevine if you're curious!) or pooling resources with friends to support a local nonprofit. Or, simply take some time to reflect on the causes that matter most to you and make a donation—no matter the size. Small steps add up to big change, especially when we give together.

America's wealthiest people have urged each other to give away more of their money since at least 1889, the year Andrew Carnegie argued that the richest should give away their fortunes within their lifetimes, in part to lessen the sting of growing inequality. So, what stands in the way of the wealthiest people giving more and giving faster? Philanthropy advisers say some answers are structural, like finding the right vehicles and advisers, and some have to do with emotional and psychological factors, like negotiating with family members or wanting to look good in the eyes of their peers. Piyush Tantia, chief innovation officer at ideas42, points out that unlike everyday donors, who may give in response to an ask from a friend or family member, the wealthiest donors end up deliberating much more about where to give. His advice is to think about philanthropy as a portfolio, with different risk levels and strategies ideally working in concert. That way it's less about the outcome of any single grant and more about the cumulative impact. Private and open conversations between donors also help them move forward, advisers have found. The Center for High Impact Philanthropy runs an academy that convenes very wealthy donors, their advisers, and the heads of foundations to learn together in cohorts. But executive director Kat Rosqueta said, that sometimes donors struggle with seeing how to make a difference, given that philanthropic funding is tiny compared to government spending or the business sector. Cara Bradley, deputy director at the Gates Foundation, said the scrutiny of billionaire philanthropy also means they feel a huge responsibility to use their funds as best as possible. Deborah Small, a marketing professor at Yale School of Management, said, in general, current social norms value anonymity in giving, which is seen as being more virtuous because the donor isn't recognized for their generosity. “It would be better for causes, and for philanthropy as a whole, if everybody was open about it because that would create the social norm that this is an expectation in society,” she said.

The humanitarian needs in the world right now are enormous. Helping out seems straightforward – you just send money or show up. But if you're not careful, your time and money may do no good.

Obsessing About Political News Is Not Good for Us or the Country (0:31)Guest: Eitan Hersh, PhD, Associate Professor of Political Science, Tufts University, Author of “Politics Is for Power”The political news these days just won't quit. So much drama at the President's State of the Union Address on Tuesday – did you see Speaker Pelosi tear up her copy of the President's speech?! The Senate acquitted President Trump in the impeachment trial. And the all-important Iowa Caucus was a giant bungle for Democrats just as the Presidential race kicks into high gear. It's not easy to keep up on it all, but for a lot of us, it kind of feels like a patriotic duty. Information is power, right? Coronavirus Outbreak in China Is Having Global Economic Impact (19:58)Guest: Nicholas R. Lardy, Anthony M. Solomon Senior Fellow, Peterson Institute for International EconomicsAs the scale of the coronavirus outbreak grows rapidly, America and other countries are evacuating their citizens from China. Major airlines have cancelled flights to China. Large retailers like Apple have closed their stores in China and carmaker Hyundai just announced it's suspending production at its manufacturing plants in South Korea because it can't get the parts it needs from factories in China that are closed. The Widespread Problem of Weight Stigma Among Pregnant and Post-Partum Women (36:31)Guest: Angela Incollingo Rodriguez, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Worcester Polytechnic InstituteThe stigma around weight in American culture is deeply engrained and problematic. But you'd think that at least pregnant women would be free from that stigma. She's growing another human inside her, for goodness sake? But two-thirds of pregnant and postpartum women recently surveyed reported experiencing some form of weight stigma. Two-thirds! Can Philanthropy Change Democracy (50:33)Guest: Katherina Rosqueta, Founding Executive Director at the Center of High Impact Philanthropy, Adjunct Faculty at the School of Social Policy and Practice, University of PennsylvaniaWe're seeing historic lows of American trust in the US government, according to the Pew Research Center. Not only do very few people believe that Washington will do the right thing, but we also aren't very trusting of each other when it comes to politics. So what's the solution? One group believes they've found the answer – philanthropy. Poverty of Refugee Life Is More Disruptive to a Child's Cognition Than War-Related Trauma (1:06:29)Guest: Catherine Panter-Brick, Professor of Anthropology, Yale UniversityChild refugees uprooted by war have seen a lot of violence and experienced a lot of traumatic loss. But the constant stress of being poor is what seems to be most harmful to child refugee's cognitive development – to his or her ability to focus, remember things and filter out distractions. Should Nature Have Rights? Lake Erie's Got a Bill of Rights (1:24:37)Guest: Tish O'Dell, Ohio Organizer at the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, President of the Ohio Community Rights NetworkIf corporations have individual rights under US law – like freedom of speech - why not a grant a lake or forest or river the same status?  New Zealand recognizes the legal rights of the Te Urewera forest. India considers the Ganges River a legal person. The first attempt at this in the US came last year when the citizens of Toledo, Ohio voted to give Lake Erie rights normally reserved for a person. The move is being challenged in court.

A new publication from Penn’s Center for High Impact Philanthropy offers a framework for strengthening democracy in an effort to reverse some troubling trends.

A new publication from Penn’s Center for High Impact Philanthropy offers a framework for strengthening democracy in an effort to reverse some troubling trends.

Founding Executive Director of the Center for High Impact Philanthropy, Kat Rosqueta, joins Alberto Lidji to discuss social impact, strengthening democracy through philanthropy and knowledge sharing in philanthropy.   Kat speaks passionately about the power of philanthropy and notes that high impact philanthropy is not about how much you give but, rather, it’s about how you give.    She sheds light on her career trajectory and the origins of the Center for High Impact Philanthropy, at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy & Practice.    Her team at the Center is highly multi-disciplinary, which Kat notes is essential.  You need the best thinking from diverse actors and disciplines to improve and change the world.   At the Center, they focus on different thematic areas. An interesting – and highly topical – area of research they’re currently pursuing looks at how philanthropy can strengthen democracy.   At the Center, they decide which thematic areas to focus on by determining whether there’s a high potential for social impact; whether they have the funding; whether they think they can quickly assemble a team that can generate answers quickly and well; and whether there is clear funder interest globally for such research.    She adds that it’s essential to have clarity of thought on what, exactly, is the social impact goal you’re trying to achieve; ensuring decisions are informed by the best available evidence out there (both academic and practical); embracing an attitude of learning, measuring and managing progress; and ensuring there is value for money.   The Center is keen to provide guidance on philanthropy to a wide audience and to ensure research can be accessed freely, across diverse platforms. They publish the ‘High Impact Giving Guide’, which provides tips, examples and useful resources for donors.   Moreover, the Center has partnerships with the likes of Fidelity Charitable – the largest Donor Advised Fund (DAF) – who mirror some of the Center’s guidance on giving, and also with Giving Compass, who add some of the Center’s guidance content on their own website.    Kat is clear that one can be a philanthropist without having to be a high-net-worth individual (HNWI). She lightheartedly distinguishes between ‘high input’ philanthropy where you do need a lot of money and ‘high impact’ philanthropy where it’s not about how much you give but, rather, how you give.   Kat also introduces the concept of a ‘social impact portfolio’, which is a useful way for individuals to balance out how much they may want to give philanthropically, or allocate towards impact investing or, indeed, spend by making sustainable purchasing decisions through conscious consumerism.   The conversation then moves into a policy exploration on philanthropy itself; its accountability (or lack thereof); its freedom to take on risk; its track record and ability to tackle social issues where for some reason neither government nor the business sector have mobilised.   An interesting point to keep in mind is that the pools of philanthropic funds available globally are still relatively small – despite all the media coverage on the topic. Kat notes that even the Gates Foundation’s endowment – the largest foundation out there – wouldn’t be able to pay for two years’ worth of public education in even one state alone, in the USA.    Kat’s key takeaway for listeners: now, more than ever, any individual can practice high impact philanthropy. High impact philanthropy is not about how much you give but, rather, it’s about how you give. If you’re unsure of where to start your philanthropic journey, you should simply just start and take the first step. Use the wealth of resources available at the Center and elsewhere that are publicly available and get excited about the impact you can make over a lifetime.   Full episode notes, guest bios and useful links are available at Lidji.org  - Please subscribe to the podcast if you enjoy it. Thank you!
