Hi, FLiPs. With Thanksgiving upon us, I wanted to share two (of the many) things I'm thankful for.
One, I'm thankful for you, our phenomenal readers. I continue to be inspired by your smart, thoughtful work in this sector -- and your willingness to share your successes with all of us. The FLiP generation is a collaborative and creative one – we’re not afraid to take risks, and we seek to work together to advance our careers and our field. Thank you for using FLiP as a forum to teach, learn, and connect. If you have an idea for a post, I’d love to hear from you – eanderson@changingourworld.com.
Two, I say thank you for the innovation that continues to take philanthropy to the next level. Case in point: Philanthropedia. The folks at this new social venture imagined the impact on the sector that would result from donors being able to access the knowledge of hundreds of experts and give to an entire social cause rather than just one nonprofit. Their appropriately-named Foundation for Everyone helps all donors access the type of knowledge usually reserved for the largest foundations. Experts in various social causes identify top nonprofits and pool them into nonprofit “mutual funds” for donors to fund. It’s a new model, and it’s one to watch. If you are interested in signing up, visit the site; you can also purchase Philanthropedia gift cards to say Happy Holidays to all your forward-thinking FLiP friends.
Enjoy your turkey, FLiPs, and we’ll see you next week.
