 High-Engagement
Philanthropy: A Bridge to a More Effective Social Sector
examines the inextricable link between greater effectiveness by
nonprofits and their access to capital—money to fund and
grow their organizations. This report consists of a lead essay
and six dialogues between high-engagement philanthropists and
their investment partners (grantees) that provide a window into
the ongoing give and take nature of high-engagement philanthropy,
highlighting its benefits and pitfalls and depicting the push
and pull inherent in and essential to authentic partnership. The
dialogues illustrate the hard work the nonprofits are committed
to accomplishing and the risks they were assuming by entering
into these new, untested partnerships with funders. The nonprofit
leaders and funders spoke of the greater effectiveness that high-engagement
philanthropy stresses: building stronger management teams and
boards, investing in outcome assessment, improving product and
service quality and delivery, and other strategic ways to improve
effectiveness and increase scale.
The report, produced jointly by Venture Philanthropy Partners (VPP)
and Community Wealth Ventures (CWV), is the latest in a series of
reports VPP has produced in an effort to advance high-engagement
philanthropy and contribute to building the field.
