Beyond Good Intentions
In the for-profit world, value creation is relatively clear-cut. There are merits of bringing this logic to social impact, but not without adapting it to the context. When we focus too heavily on the supply side without adequately considering the non-profit environment, the practices and assumptions we import can result in constraining social impact.
This best practice guidance is designed for those with a for-profit background who want to make a meaningful difference. You will gain an understanding of what is holding us back from increasing social return on investment, how you can support better practices and address the impact gap.
For individuals
Creating value through corporate philanthropy
Based on the same principles as Beyond Good Intentions, I work with leading CSR / corporate foundation teams to align messaging with your company’s philanthropic strategy and deliver on demand or facilitated learning.
Transform your team’s social engagement hours into something meaningful. They will walk away with insights on effective corporate philanthropy and understand how your organisation is responding to the practices that have historically limited social impact, leaving them equipped to contribute to positive social responsibility and avoid the pitfalls that risk damaging reputation.
For organisations
Philanthropy consulting
I support foundations and donors with grantmaking, non-profit due diligence and strategic support, and help business leaders engage with philanthropy in a thoughtful and effective way.
Examples include working on grantmaking programmes, providing financial due diligence, mentoring, working with non-profits on their scale-up plans, and designing skilled volunteer initiatives.
