SUMMARY:Catalysts of Community Philanthropy: How Community Foundations\, Collective Giving\, and Giving Days Strengthen Civic Life
DESCRIPTION:Across the globe\, communities are experimenting with new ways to organize generosity\, revitalizing longstanding traditions of giving\, and creating fresh vehicles for connection. Community foundations\, giving circles\, mutual aid groups\, giving days\, and neighborhood‑led funds are all reshaping philanthropy from the ground up — expanding participation\, strengthening trust\, and shifting power closer to communities. \nThis webinar brings together a panel of field experts to introduce a shared vocabulary for understanding community philanthropy\, drawing on research from “Defining Community Philanthropy: Principles and Dimensions of a Transformative Practice\,” an article published recently in The Foundation Review. We’ll highlight the catalysts — people\, networks\, and institutions — who weave social fabric\, nurture civic engagement\, and mobilize generosity in ways that strengthen community self‑determination. \nOur conversation will consider key questions\, including: \n\nWhy is community philanthropy so urgently needed right now?\nWhat makes community philanthropy distinct from traditional philanthropy?\nHow do we know when community philanthropy is successful\, as measured by community members?\n\nIn this moment when trust in institutions is fragile and communities face widening inequalities\, community philanthropy offers practices rooted in local assets\, reciprocal relationships\, and community‑driven decision‑making. \nPrice: Free\nFormat: Virtual \nRegister here.
