Resourcing Bold Ideas
Posted in News Story
View the video of the inaugural fireside chat in our spring series on global philanthropy with Dr. Cecilia Conrad and Sushma Raman, Waldemar A. Nielsen Philanthropy Fellow.
Lever for Change is a nonprofit that creates equitable access in the world of philanthropy, through a unique model of open calls, expert review, and donor collaboration. Their mission is to connect donors with problem solvers to find and fund bold, effective solutions to accelerate social change. They have influenced over $2.5 billion in grants and supported more than 500 organizations worldwide.
The conversation focuses on Lever for Change’s unique model, trends in global philanthropy that address issues of transparency, accessibility, and scale, and impacts of recent shifts in public policy and funding streams on philanthropy.
