Want to Encourage More Wealthy People to Give? Here’s a Solution.

Overbrook’s President Eric Weingartner had an important piece published in The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Want to Encourage More Wealthy People to Give? Here’s a Solution. The article focused on the opportunity that foundations have to share what they know about high performing grantees and the urgent issues that they address. For good reason, philanthropies are increasingly led by sectoral leaders who, with their teams, are in the perfect position to motivate and inspire new resources to reach organizations making an impact. The dated practice of foundations “vaulting” what they know should soon be a thing of the past, especially when urgent issues need expert analysis informing and guiding new grant making.
