From Charity to Inspired PhilanthropyGrounding Beliefs
✓ Giving and sharing are universal human impulses for creating and sustaining culture and community.
✓ At its root, giving is grounded in hope, faith, and love.✓ One important way we express our values in a democracy is by
supporting the organizations and causes we care about.✓ Philanthropy at its best is a creative expression of that part of us that
cares about and believes in the potential for change.✓ The most effective philanthropy joins your interests and experiences
with current needs and seeks desired outcomes for the common good.✓ Inspired giving ideas and solutions come from all generations and people
of all walks of life. Community and family input in our planning makes for better giving.
✓ Inspired philanthropy and service have transforming powers for all -- givers and receivers.

Living Learning Resource Ecosystem
Networked Social Movements need to be resourced in new ways:
■ Networked movements require a shift from foundation-centered funding to a broader conceptualization of resources
■ We call this broader approach a living resource system to recognize the complex range of resources that need to be identified, linked, moved and in some case restructured to support the dynamic nature of networked movements
■ This approach recognizes that everyone has access to resources and can help move those resources to places where they are needed. The more people see themselves as resource movers, the more transformative movements can become.
