Once a week, I will be posting three links about one specific topic in CSR.
This week's topic is Philanthropy. Specifically, I have been thinking quite a bit about how nonprofit social enterprises can be more effective in raising money. Check out these articles for some interesting insights:
- Stanford Social Innovation Review: Grantmakers Can Do More Than Make Grants: One positive outcome of the decline in financial markets is that it might spur foundations to get more involved in program and mission related investments.
- The Power of a Case | Social Velocity: Nell Edgington makes a compelling case for why nonprofits should all have a "case for support" at the heart of every funding raising campaign. Although I do think that such a case should be shared with major donors in their entirety.
- Does Philanthropy Have a Place in Social Enterprise? | Social Entrepreneurship | Change.org: Nathaniel Whittemore comments on the Tactical Philanthropy track at this year's Social Capital Markets conference and discusses the historical debate over whether the phrase "social enterprise" should include both nonprofits and for-profits.
