Donor Collaboration Power in Numbers

How can our relatively small gift begin to make a difference on such a huge problem? Where do we get started in learning about an issue? Which organizations are most effective in operating programs in our community? What can we do to help ensure that our philanthropic investments will lead to sustained change? These are the kinds of questions that confront donors as they seek to have an impact on complex social issues. However, funders are increasingly realizing that they do not have to figure out the answers in isolation. Rather, they are finding ways to connect with their peers to share ideas and information, analyze problems, and craft strategies.
