UNLEASHING PHILANTHROPY AT SCALE

We are at an historic inflection point. Our social and environmental challenges are dangerously close to slipping out of our control. At the same time, we have over $1 trillion in philanthropy waiting to be deployed, and which will go a long way to solving many of these issues. This is just Giving Pledge philanthropy. It is estimated there is an additional $10 trillion* earmarked for philanthropy by other wealthy individuals and families.

So why the bottleneck?

In this seminal book, Sean Davis brings to bear his unique experience working at a top-tier private equity firm and local nonprofit organizations to explore:

• The generational shift in philanthropic strategies, as wealthy millennials and Gen Zers look for more meaningful investments;

• What does it mean to be “Buried by Wealth”, and how did we get here?

• The operational and planning pitfalls facing nonprofits as they look to take in more philanthropy;

• Venture Philanthropy, and the role innovative financing can play to scale impact; and

• What does fulfillment look like, and how can philanthropy be delivered in a tax-efficient way?

Davis uses real world examples in affordable housing, clean water, and green energy to uncover the roadblocks to large philanthropic investments, before providing a step-by-step guide to how philanthropists can scale their impact and their solutions.

This book is a must-read for:

• Wealthy individuals, and their families;

• Wealth Managers, Estate Attorneys and Philanthropic Advisors;

• Nonprofit and Foundation Leaders.
