Philanthropy’s Post

Sports organisations often struggle to measure and communicate the impact of their philanthropic initiatives. Demonstrating impact is crucial for building trust, attracting support, and inspiring continued investment. Implement pragmatic monitoring and evaluation systems to track the outcomes and effectiveness of your philanthropic programs. Use data and storytelling to communicate your impact in compelling and relatable ways to stakeholders, donors, and the wider community. By sharing tangible results and success stories, you can inspire confidence and support for your philanthropic endeavours. #ImpactMeasurement #StorytellingForGood

Why Philanthropic Facilitation is Immensely More Effective Than Transactional Fundraising Because philanthropic decision making unfolds in phases. The more we internalize their realities and adopt our practices accordingly, the more successful we will be at building philanthropic partnerships and communities of shared purpose. The table below, based on tens of thousands of donor interviews and analyses of donor records, lays out the mental steps donors go through before they are ready to consider giving – usually around Step 5. The top line in each step represents what is actually happening at an observable level when the bottom line speaks to what they are actually feeling. Keep in mind that each step may take weeks, if not months, and usually after repeated messages and/or interactions. If you rush this process, you stunt philanthropic potential - plain, pure and simple.

Choosing the right story to tell for a philanthropic campaign is CRUCIAL for engaging donors and driving support. These are the six key characteristics of an effective story! Make sure to run your story by this checklist and contact us for more guidance. #storytelling #fundraisingchecklist

To Change the Philanthropic Paradigm: Adopt One Overarching Goal That Goal: Building An Ever Stronger Community of Shared Purpose Doesn't that create a more virtuous, self-perpetuating philanthropic cycle? Is that not the way to provide meaning and community, what so many of us are looking for? When we do the inverse, does it not drain philanthropy of passion, conviction, energy, and ideals - all the things we look for in donors and in philanthropic facilitators? Can't we see the patterns and the consequences piling up by our collective failure to adopt this as our overarching goal? Many of us can. It is why we speak up every day. We care about the state of philanthropy. It is what we are when we are at our best.
