The Integrated Philanthropy Initiative began in 2016 as a partnership of nonprofit and philanthropic leaders who are committed to strengthening the effectiveness of philanthropy through people-centered program design. The Initiative is privately funded. Although the Initiative does certify and promote nonprofit programs, we do not advise donors on specific giving decisions. Instead, we seek to strengthen nonprofit effectiveness through a six-point process to help them become more people-centered.
In 2019, we are working on a co-creation process to build the tools and methods needed to assess, develop and support programs that demonstrate people-centered design as described in the Integrated Philanthropy booklet.
Giving well is not easy to do. Generosity is wonderful but can have unintended consequences. Sustainable positive impact requires a people-centered approach. We partner with leaders who share our commitment to improving effectiveness in nonprofit/charitable work, and who wish to collaboratively strengthen and promote people-centered programs.
