Top Takeaways
- Donors can leverage their own networks, become vocal advocates for policy change, and work within communities to increase the reach of the nonprofits’ work.
- Change isn’t the linear “give and do” chain of traditional philanthropy – like a series of interlocking gears, all players and sectors must work together.
- Donors increase their odds of having impact when they commit to one or a few causes, rather than spreading thin amongst many.
Donating is just one means of achieving impact—and while it’s an important starting point, it’s not the endgame.
