President and CEO Melissa Berman gives her perspective on the philanthropic sector’s different approaches to engaging in social issues and working with beneficiaries in this article from Centre Français des Fonds et Fondations.
One successful approach to amplifying beneficiary voices is for organizations to give grants to individuals in a particular community, who then re-grant those funds for others. That approach, shared Berman, has been successful in a number of communities throughout the United States.
