Sectors
Philanthropy / Nonprofits
Recommendation to include elements from this section into a new sector that is for Philanthropy/Non-Profits
ThinkPlace believes that non-profit organizations and philanthropic networks play an instrumental role in bridging the gap that often exists between the needs of peope and the public services currently available. Because of this, there is a great opportunity to guide philanthropic network and non-profits to engage in flexible and innovative funding structures and programs that center lived experience. When we work in this way, we see major returns on investment since programs are developed with the people the are aiming to serve.
What we do:
- Research and data collection to assess the realworld impact of programs and organizational policies, and inform evidencebased decisions
- Rightsbased approachs that emphasize empowerment and equal participation of people who are directly impacted by social problems
- Community engagement to challenge disparities, promote equity, and support marginalized groups
- Help organizations embrace inclusivity by aligning their policies, practices, and funding structures with diverse cultural values and experiences
