How Foundations could be different



Grantmaking processes to nonprofits could improve

Philanthropy could encourage policy options that are beneficial

Funders could invest in nonprofit capacity building

Funds could be raised for impact investment

ESG / Socially Responsible stock investing could be a less useful than charity donations or impact capital investing

Universities / foundations could spend down their assets

Nonprofit funding could be like venture capital

Donors could receive feedback from grantseekers

Social issues could be reframed and better communicated to create change

RCTs could be a marginal way to inform public policy

Private charity could not replace government programs or funding

Social sector knowledge could be better collected, organized, and displayed

Public policy clearinghouses could be easier to use and more comprehensive

Philanthropy could be collaborative, flexible, and larger to create bigger impacts

Government agencies, schools, hospitals, police, universities, foundations, prisons, workplaces, elections, judiciary systems, and nonprofits could collect, publicize, and use citizen feedback

Foundations and labor unions could fund alt-labor organizations

Cash stipends could be given directly to the poor

Citizens could receive a basic / guaranteed income (with restrictions or on a EBT card)
