So You're Working for a Foundation... Power and Your New Community

So you are working for a foundation. While the other parts of this series provide an overview of the history of philanthropy, a foundation's leadership and governance, a high-level overview of grantmaking at foundations, and the philanthropic topics of the century, this module helps you to explore the various roles within philanthropy.

People are drawn to the field of philanthropy to make a difference. While philanthropic organizations may have a broader commitment to strategy, many individuals may lack an explicit strategy for effectiveness, without an awareness of ambiguous situations, unusual dynamics and the challenges they may encounter that require a sense of personal strategy. Come hear from seasoned foundation professionals who will share how they have developed their own strategies to navigate their personal and professional journeys.

Intended Outcomes

Upon completing this module, participants will be able to:

  • Understand and interrogate the ‘power dynamics’ at play in philanthropy and how you can be part of transforming power in philanthropy

  • Understand your new role in your foundation, what values you bring to it, and how to best show up for colleagues and community partners

  • Identify the resources and networks within philanthropy that can help you navigate and organize the philanthropic community to share power 

Presenters

Designed for

Anyone who has joined the philanthropic sector within the last 12-18 months; open to the entire range of disciplines with the field, e.g., Assistant to the President, Program Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller, Human Services Director, Trustee, among others. This is a cohort-based program.
