Our community briefing series is underway! 🎉 Each year, U.S. foundations grant over $100 billion to charitable organizations, yet many social challenges persist. How can philanthropy evolve to better impact family well-being? This month, we launched a community briefing series focusing on families, featuring guest speaker, Mark Kramer, founder of FSG and co-author of “Where Strategic Philanthropy Went Wrong” (https://ssir.org/articles/entry/strategic-philanthropy-went-wrong). In his presentation he explored the limitations of traditional funding and introduced “empowerment philanthropy” as a model for improvement. Special thanks to our panelists who shared examples of empowerment philanthropy in action: Mark Kramer (FSG) Ian B. Bautista (Greater Milwaukee Foundation), and Yalanda Ludtke (Zilber Family Foundation). This briefing, co-sponsored by The Zilber Family Foundation is part of The Johnson Foundation’s series to raise awareness of family complexities in our latest strategic initiative. #philanthropy #empowermentphilanthrophy #nonprofit #foundations (fb)
