"The vast majority of foundations pursue a style of philanthropy motivated by personal passion, community needs, and a strong desire for better outcomes," says Henry L. Berman, CEO, Exponent Philanthropy. "We are inspired by the profound impact made in communities every day and believe philanthropy lessons abound in every corner of our community."
Presented in an accessible yet thought-provoking format, the Philanthropy Lessons series covers themes that apply across geographies, issues areas, and funder size. The nine-part video series launches with the first two themes: Philanthropy Lessons: The Many Forms of Evaluation and Philanthropy Lessons: How Do You Capture Hope? and will publish new videos monthly through June 2016.
"We are thrilled to be supporting Exponent Philanthropy in developing these terrific videos," says Fay Twersky, Director of the Effective Philanthropy Group at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and co-chair of the Fund for Shared Insight. "We believe we can make an even bigger difference if foundations share what we learn with one another and the field."
Funded by the Fund for Shared Insight and released in partnership with The Chronicle of Philanthropy, the campaign urges all foundations to share their philanthropy lessons for the benefit of others using the hashtag #MyPhilLesson and at philanthropylessons.org.
