Eileen – thanks for the comment. National Philanthropic Trust provides great value-add services for donors and you’re a smart fit for people who are searching for help beyond the technical DAF management. (I’ve recommended you to folks before.)

Tony, I was glad to read your comments about DAFs. I wholeheartedly
agree that DAFs grants can be treated similarly to checkbook gifts. The
charities that manage DAFs however provide some extra key services that
make them more advantageous than checkbook giving.

Fundraisers need know to that philanthropists with DAFs are the same as
any other prospective donor. With that in mind, they will see the daf
as the convenient tool that it

Thanks for your comment. I don’t know a ton about international development or global philanthropy, but community philanthropy work definitely could use more respect from politicians and leaders of all forms.

Excellent comments on Philanthrophy, There seem to be lack of awareness in Developed World on role played by such Foundation as the Agakhan one and only if politicians cite the role played by these Institutions, or other measures are used to bring about awareness, there will be a tendency by the rich to think of getting richer only-and no contributions from them can be expected.

Excellent post. When more than 70% of giving is from individuals (as opposed to foundation giving)…is on the rise, then it is no doubt time to look at models that engage donors/philanthropists in achieving impact with their collective resources. I’m also a huge fan of Janet Topolsky who is a visionary in rural philanthropy/impact. Rural impact work quite naturally gravitates to this model of “Supporting everyday people in getting together, giving together, solving problems, and innovating together.” Finally, the Social Venture Partner is worth raising up in this conversation as well. Thank you for your thoughtful and inspiring post.

[...] Regional associations of grantmakers could actively invite community philanthropy into the fold. More foundations could adopt community philanthropy approaches (see the Philanthropic Ventures Foundation and Grassroots Grantmakers’ members as examples). As the Mott and Aga Khan report notes, foundations could improve government programs through community philanthropy. Heck, foundations could even pick up on my idea of developing Trusted Community Giving Centers. [...]
