Madonna, GivingTuesday’s grant writer, outlines four powerful points in her article, “Bonding, Bridging & the Reparative Role of Philanthropy.” She notes that the power of philanthropy and the impact of generosity rest in the hands of local leadership and calls on funders to listen to the real needs of their grantees. It should be “relational, relatable, and right next door.” We co-sign with the notion that civil society and community aren’t mutually exclusive and must return to a world Madonna so artfully describes. #GivingTuesday #NonProfit #CivilSociety #Fundraising
