Building Stronger Social Movements Through Grassroots Philanthropy

I'm especially excited to announce the summer issue of Responsive Philanthropy, NCRP's quarterly journal, for two reasons.
First, we've got an exciting lineup of featured articles on international environmental grassroots philanthropy, community foundations engaging in public policy, global grantmaking for women's rights and connectivity networks of nonprofit leaders:
- Redirecting International Environmental Grantmaking
In the cover story, Terry Odendahl and Peter Kotishack of Global Greengrants Fund encourage international environmental grantmakers to fund grassroots groups. They contend that supporting such innovative groups builds stronger social movements and creates positive change around the world.
- Community Foundations as Partners in the Public Policy Process: What It Takes
CFLeads executive director Deborah Ellwood looks at community foundations engaging in policy work. She identifies four essential elements that help these foundations be effective when working with the public sector.
- 5 Principles of Global Feminist Philanthropy
Global Fund for Women’s Kellea Miller and Caitlin Stanton, with Esther Leaver of Mama Cash, share their knowledge on best practices and look forward to the next generation of international grantmaking for women’s rights.
- First Relationships. Then Results.
Stefan Lanfer of the Barr Foundation describes how the Barr Fellowship’s recognition of exemplary leaders and their relationships with each other has created a strong connectivity network, capable of generating powerful change.
- Member Spotlight: The Consumer Health Foundation, a grantmaker working to achieve health equality in the Washington, D.C., area.
Second, we are introducing a more accessible, mobile-friendly format (we hope!) for new Responsive Philanthropy articles. Readers will still be able to view and download PDFs of full issues and individual articles, but also now have the option to view content as a webpage. Let us know how you like it, and if there's anything else we can do to make reading featured articles more enjoyable.
And as always, we enjoy hearing from our readers. So send over feedback as well as ideas for future articles to readers[at]ncrp.org.
