Overheard at #EXPHIL18 Philanthropy has moved on from a trembling, “Can we?” to a resounding “We must!” (be advocates). Wish more grantmakers were that confident...
#EXPHIL18 Grantmakers can use their influence for good by raising the voices of grantees as policy experts so elected officials really listen to grantees with their REAL stories about what’s happening in the community.
#EXPHIL18 Making a commitment to advocacy and policy changes is also honoring a commitment to our grantees to build their capacity so we can improve lives in the community together
#EXPHIL18 Wonderful stories of grantmakers moving the needle for communities of color and marginalized communities through their support of advocacy and collaborative work with grantees
#EXPHIL18 “upside of being an advocacy funder as well as a programmatic funder is that it increases the legitimacy of grantmakers” Hybrid Idea: fund training for grantees to be advocates!
“Philanthropy moves policy when funders works together” Whether your foundation funds research or advocacy groups - collaborate for bigger impact! #EXPHIL18
