Strategic philanthropy is increasingly requiring advocacy and creative collaboration to achieve its goals. Funders, investors, and social entrepreneurs are eager to go beyond traditional grantmaking to employ innovative approaches to achieving impact, including an increased appetite for collaboration, a willingness to invest in advocacy, and being creative with the vehicles they create and fund.
This panel will discuss the advantages of using a combination of tools—investment capital, intellectual capital, networks, influence, convening power, capacity to take risks—to maximize the impact of your grantmaking.
