Philanthropy requires a lot of planning (that might be the understatement of the year), and sometimes it’s hard to shift from planning mode to implementing mode. Here are 4 simple steps to help you make a smooth transition: https://t.co/oP5zwAvLLo

3. Many funder are providing "beyond the grant" supports. Again, well intentioned but these learning communities, convenings, TA programs should be co-designed with grantees and should avoid forced networking and participation. Again, limited time.

One of the most common struggles our clients face has to do with how to structure their annual giving budgets. We use the 80/20 rule. What do you think about this approach? What other budgeting models are effective for #grantmaking? #GivingGuidance #trustedadvisor #philanthropy

"Children who grow up in communities with more cross-class interaction are much more likely to rise out of poverty." There is SO much power in who you know, and who you even have access to. #socialnetwork #economicmobility

To clarify - not every week is easy, breezy, perfect! Each week brings new, unknown challenges to work through. But, overall, this is how I feel about my job and my career trajectory.

To makes grants to a community without advisement and engagement with that said community can be considered philanthropic malpractice. What other funder behaviors would you consider philanthropic malpractice? #decolonizingwealth

Philanthropists are often unsure of how to conduct their charitable giving. They fear they aren't doing it "right" and don't know how to structure it. At @JH_Philanthropy, we help put them in control of the social impact they seek to have, which starts with their #passion.
Discovering one's passions and philanthropic interests is not always linear. It often takes exploration and guidance. Here @TPIPhilanthropy dives deeper into the role passion plays in #philanthropy - and how to begin to find yours. #charitablegiving
