Changing attitudes: donors, buyers or investors?
• Giving as an investment (which requires a return)– Philanthrocapitalism– Impact investing– Blended Value
• Habits/culture of equity analysis– Scaling, metrics
• And financial tools – SIBs, loans (patient capital,
microfinance)

Changing attitudes? Social justice philanthropy
• Eg Rosenman - Caring to Change: (cf scientific philanthropy)• Woburn Place Collaborative• Maytree Foundation
• funding is directed toward organizations advocating the collective interest of disadvantaged or underrepresented groups
• belief that poverty is caused by inequitable allocation of resources and access to power in society and that disempowered groups should be given the tools to challenge existing structures as well as a voice in decisions

So...
• Charitable impulse remains strong• Supported by tax and regulatory environment• No fatigue: but reliance on a civic core• Main change in attitude is shift to investor
mindset• Giving remains contested: by left and right• But change in practices too, eg to ABCD and,
hopefully, social justice philanthropy
