Why Capital Transfer Matters Did you know? Despite making up 14-20% of the U.S. population, rural communities receive only 7% of #PhilanthropicFunding. Traditional grantmaking isn’t closing that gap. That’s why Alliance Healthcare Foundation (AHF) took a bold step—transferring $7.5 million to the Imperial Valley Wellness Foundation (IVWF) as #UnrestrictedCapital. This isn’t just funding—it’s a long-term investment in #RuralHealth and #EconomicProsperity. PhiLab’s latest report on Capital Transfer in Philanthropy showcases AHF’s decision as a case study in shifting power and financial autonomy to a disinvested community. Learn how we’re rethinking philanthropy for lasting change. Read the summary report here?https://lnkd.in/g5zY78CU #PhilanthropyReimagined #TrustBasedPhilanthropy #CapitalTransfer #RuralDevelopment
