#Article | What trust based #philanthropy looks like, and why megadonors should listen more to organizations’ needs. This article looks at the transformative effect MacKenzie Scott’s one time thoughtful gift has had for some of the organizations highlighted. Having awarded more than 2000 organizations and given away more than $15B to date, some meaningful patterns have emerged besides financial stability. Improving morale, feelings of empowerment and capacity to think creatively by staff and leadership have had a tremendous influence to driving their missions. #sustainability #transformativephilanthropy

"The MacKenzie Effect (How Billionaire MacKenzie Scott Is Changing the Giving Game)" is out now in the new #Philanthropy edition of Town&Country Magazine: “She focuses so much on the organizations and elevating them... Not herself.”?It's incredible to see these #nonprofit leaders, including our own Cecilia Conrad, covered in such style and given this space to tell their stories. By yielding control and the spotlight, MacKenzie Scott has made the work of these communities the beating heart of hundreds of narratives in 2024. Deep thanks to Laura Evans and Hearst Magazines for the many months of collaboration to make this possible! https://lnkd.in/g-PP53FF
