Some foundations and family philanthropists are making significant changes to their approach—increasing payouts, shifting funding strategies, and/or taking calculated risks. More remain in holding patterns, perhaps signing public statements but not yet ready to change their fundamental approach or make new grants. Still others are eager to change course but feel isolated or afraid, not benefiting from the courage of their quieter peers. They know what they need and have the ground-level perspective necessary to help ensure your giving stays relevant and effective. Taking advantage of them while grounding decisions in the mission and the “why” can help donors replace scarcity with abundance, a defensive crouch with bold action.
