Communicating the value of foundations

Neimand Collaborative

How can philanthropy leaders move beyond the typical cash machine frame and communicate their full value and roles to influential Americans?

Rich Neimand, Dave Clayton, and Sarah Hobgood of Neimand Collaborative are preparing case studies of ways foundations and philanthropy associations have effectively gone beyond communicating about a specific program or issue to frame it in the broader context of philanthropy’s value.  They are also helping targeted regional associations of grantmakers shape the messages they use in outreach to influential audiences. “You are what people value in you—and you are responsible for defining your value,” Neimand Collaborative told Florida grantmakers in a recent webinar. 

Stay tuned for the case studies, which will be posted on www.philanthropyawareness.org.
