5. Mission Impact in Portfolios
Gut Side:
Lots of problems worldwide. Do we have the money? Do we have the ideas? Not about money. Not about know-how. Just aren't putting the pieces together. Human and social capital is the chasm. Are there people out there that are driven enough to get close enough that hurts and will stick with it to see a solution? Social capital. So much of philanthropy happens in silos and needs to connect more.
Judy.
3 Big Issues happening in philanthropy and opportunities.
Global. CEO Melissa Burhman - trends in philanthropy. Meeting with NGOs throughout CHina. Interest in philanthropy worldwide is growing. REcognition of borderless issues. Environment, human and rights, health, women and children issues. Need global lens to solve. Global literacy, cultural competence.
Technology. See human suffering more . Has called folks to action. Technology amazing tool used by NGO world to connect, can do better in Philanthropy.
People on the move. Growing diaspora giving who want to give back to home countries.
Donor tool kit expanding. Being driven by entrepreneurs and business community. Giving while living and perpetuity. Problems are so big now, want to attack now versus saving for the future generations benefit (foundation).
Blurring of lines between public and private. Is it values driven? Is it impacting socials issues.
Inclusion and diversion and equity within the philanthropic giving. Billions going into philanthropic vehicles, but we don't see the money flowing into the community. Who's money is this?
Impact of women. Philanthropic dollars will be falling into the hands of women. Women moving millions is a great initiative. Pushing women to write those big checks. Black Women's Advisor Group. D5 - more donors to give to communities of color and women and girls.
Michael
Corporate - aggregate of giving. Funding streams in the future may come from India and China, which will change the face of philanthropic giving.
Government part of solution. With health in particular, social change will rest with the government. Private philanthropy can not compete with public sector, the government is key to delivery.
Increasing cross function attack on issues. Thinking outside the box of traditional philanthropic giving.
Without philanthropic commitment to buy pharmaceuticals, then would't be made. Giving companies several billion dollars to put drug development in pipeline, has affected health, may not be seen as philanthropy, but drugs would not be developed without gift.
Pros and cons to technology.
Push for strategic alignment. Healthy living and Nike - address diabetes and obesity, also involves people needing more athletic equipment. If aligns with core strategy then easy sale, if not, hard sale.
Most of large issues can not be influenced by individual donors. Unlike Kiva where a 100 dollars can be seen directly helping entrepreneur's lives.
Judy.
Corporations and areas of giving question. Biased in working in corporate giving. If woking for right corporation have a lot of tools in kit, have dollars and employees around the world. You have a CEO. You have marketing, legal and communication resources. Corporate giving will have all of that.
Risk. Philanthropic sector is risk adverse in general. What's worse that could happen? Not sure, but there is a lot of fear around risk. Not really understanding the players and not wanting to look bad. Advocacy is an important tool. Giving books vs looking at solving literacy problems.
Michael.
Advocacy is one of the best ways for public sector to be influential. Eg. Needle exchange, controversial topic, but proven health wise as being hugely beneficial. Could not get government to pick up project but most were CEOs from corporations not involved in health took it on. Led to policy change. Celebrity use.
CEO and motivation. Many CEOs will want to give from the bottom of their heart, but if not woven into mission and strategy not long-lasting. Must make sense to the people who care about your company. Must be able to explain it to all the stakeholders.
Paul. Metrics. Non-profit. Measure wrong things, e.g. administration and overhead. Because no single measure grab what can grab. No net profit single number. There are things, outcomes, outputs and impacts, to look at. Indicators and dashboards to measure trends, in the non-profit world need to be better and figuring out indicators.
Jacob. Risk is calculable. Uncertainty - no risk. Don't know if will succeed ahead of time. Hewlett foundation gives an annual award, "Who made the worse grand and learned from it." Learn a lot from failure. Okay to make new mistakes. Just not repeat the same mistakes.
Judy. Professional opportunities. Key skill sets must have: graduate degree, global lens/literacy (personal travel, fellowship), project management (comfortable working in teams), strong consulting skills (comfortable in a variety of situations). A lot of different philanthropic organization we hire from: large private foundations, community foundations, corporate foundations, women foundations, public charities, Liberty Hill, Tides in San Francisco, LGBT - Horizon's Pride, Gild. Lots of advising firms, Arabella and RPA, TCC, TPI, Bridgespan and FSG.
Paul. Skills transfer between corporate and nonprofit. Empathy, customer service, listening, lots of business ideas underneath notion. Almost see non-profit as a customer of the foundation.
Michael. Think about what role you want in the nonprofit industry. Be focused and understand what you want. Crazy to say you just want to work in the private sector, yet a lot of people say that about non-profit field. A lot of CSR departments are being absorbed into general business strategy, not separate departments.
