Creative Philanthropy Publications

As a member of the Woburn Place Collaborative, the Carnegie UK Trust commissioned Steven Burkeman to: explore the degree of urgency which trusts and foundations attach to working on the social justice implications of climate change; identify the kinds of interventions to which foundations might be willing to contribute; and identify the degree to which they might be willing to collaborate.  

The Woburn Place Collaborative has published 'Just Change: Strategies for increasing philanthropic impact'. The report aims to encourage discussion of how philanthropy can contribute to achieving longer term systemic change with impact beyond immediate grantees, and inspire practice. The report illustrates a number of case studies which highlight some recurring themes in how foundations work and what they need to look for, and fund, in grant recipient partners if they want to contribute to achievement of wider, longer term impact.
