"The notion of systems change is based on the recognition that the challenges philanthropy addresses are complicated and interdependent. This is something those with experience in the nonprofit sector have been saying for decades. Thoughtful givers open themselves up to learn how uniquely challenging giving is."

Phil Buchanan, The Center for Effective Philanthropy

"A powerful thing happens when philanthropists demonstrate humility through listening and respect. They earn trust. Trust allows funders to learn at a deeper level how they can support grantees to do bold, ambitious work. Trust also allows funders to build relationships with partners ... [who] will be essential in creating a network for advocacy and systems change." [more] ([link removed])

Mary Marx, Lymari Benitez, Yessica Cancel and Katie Smith Milway, in Stanford Social Innovation Review Online
