Exploring The Concept of “Tactical Philanthropy”
May 22, 2009 | Read Time: 1 minute
Sean Stannard-Stockton, a wealth adviser in California, has developed a large and loyal following of readers for his blog, Tactical Philanthropy.
The blog focuses on what Mr. Stannard-Stockton calls “the second great wave of philanthropy”, which he believes will lead to new approaches to solving social problems.
“The philanthropists of the 21st century will be smaller in size, but much larger in numbers than the philanthropists of the last century,” he writes. “From researching what organizations to give to, to demanding accountability from the nonprofits they support, to utilizing sophisticated giving methods, the new donors want to make sure their giving is having the most impact it can.”
What does this really mean? And is the nonprofit world really going through a sea change?
You will have a chance to ask Mr. Stannard-Stockton those and other questions during a live, online discussion on Tuesday, May 26, at noon Eastern time.
