Strategic Philanthropy Gets a Wake-Up Call


It is no secret that the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and structural racism are forcing a thorough reconsideration of the nature of philanthropy and its role. This fall, I taught a course at Columbia University’s nonprofit management program on strategic philanthropy. My students decided it was important to draft a message to the field about how current practices need to evolve, and quickly. This five-point memo is the outcome of our deliberations. I hope you find it of interest. If nothing else, it may give you some insight as to how incoming nonprofit professionals view the future of philanthropy.—Ali Webb
