Philanthropy:About
From Philanthropy
This page is all about the Philanthropy Wiki.
My intention is to offer this site as a place for community-created and validated information and punditry on the changing nature of philanthropy, social entrepreneurism, and social capital.
This wiki on philanthropy will focus on the intersections of change in technology, media, markets, the public sector, and philanthropy. Specifically:
- How technology is changing philanthropy
- New financial vehicles for giving
- Features on new social organizations dedicated to giving
- Sector dynamics between philanthropy, community, markets, and the public sector
The first step is gathering a community of commentators - I intend to
post some prototype ideas about future giving models and invite people to contribute.
Core communities of interest, I suspect, are 1) philanthropy and nonprofit bloggers, 2) consultants to foundations, 3) donors, 4) professional staff of nonprofit organizations and foundations, 5) social entrepreneurs, 6) builders and users of online giving companies, 7) tech companies serving the space, and ....?
