This book highlights the historic inflection point we are in, both
in terms of philanthropy in general, and specifically in financing
the solutions to our largest and most urgent social and
environmental problems. It covers the two movements that have
recently had a dramatic influence on capitalism. First, wealthy
millennials have been pressuring their bankers to invest their
family portfolios in companies with high social and environmental
impact (ESG ratings), triggering a wave where the wealth management
industry, and now all public companies, are significantly adapting
to the increasing demand for good. Second, The Giving Pledge
triggered another wave, changing what success and the accumulation
of wealth means. It has even begun to redefine the goal of
capitalism as more than 200 billionaires have pledged to give half
or more of their wealth away. This book also focuses on the
bottleneck problem that The Giving Pledge has created, as it is
very hard to give hundreds of billions away with measurable impact
to nonprofits lacking detailed long-term plans to scale. Nonprofits
have never had the luxury of having all the resources to invest in
the planning, management training and systems needed to rapidly
expand. Thus taking in very large gifts is very difficult, and
almost impossible to justify. Large philanthropy can always be used
for traditional capital campaigns and to fund endowments, yet The
Giving Pledge signers are often looking for large visible impact
beyond these traditional avenues. The result is a bottleneck which
has grown as more billionaires pledge their funds away while their
wealth continues to skyrocket and giving rates stay very small.
Finally, this book covers the emergence of large giving vehicles,
modelled after the private equity industry. They have sophisticated
third-party managers focused on deploying funds and supporting
management teams. It also covers the scaling of nonprofits in a
significant way ("Big Bets") as well as investing large
philanthropy through for-profits as Program Related Investments
(PRI) at scale. This book is of interest specifically to nonprofit
and foundation leaders, as well as wealth managers, estate
attorneys and other philanthropic advisors. It is also of interest
to investors and corporate CEOs as they begin to access these large
pools for philanthropic capital to increase their impact. This book
is focused on providing those with the ability to make large
philanthropic investments a path to scale their impact and increase
their fulfillment and that of their family. It provides a
step-by-step guide of how these approaches, especially PRI at
scale, can actually solve the social and environmental challenges
that have been seemingly hopeless.
