TODAY:  PHILANTHROPY How might we make it easier  for donors to  find effective  nonprofits  to donate to? How might we make it  easier  and cheaper  for nonprofits to  raise money  and  demonstrate performance ? How might we enable  beneficiaries to  provide feedback  and  have their voice heard ? Today, we do not have enough  readily available, reliable, and  universal information  to support the philanthropic ecosystem—the giving markets.
FACTS  ABOUT PHILANTHROPY In general, most giving comes from  many donors ,  but goes to  relatively few nonprofits . How might we provide  tools  for individuals to  give more effectively?

UNDERSTANDING  DONORS If we understand the various  motivations  driving donors,  we can  more fully engage  them in social investing. Source:  Hope Consulting, Money for Good: The US Market for Impact Investments and Charitable Gifts from Individual Donors and Investors, May 2010 How might we  reach all donors , regardless of the reasons why they give?
UNDERSTANDING  DONORS While donors say they care about nonprofit performance, very few actively donate  to the highest-performing nonprofits. How might we get people to act on their interest in nonprofit performance by  doing some research ? How might we get people  to  care about social  impact  and other measures  of performance? How might we get people to  give to the top nonprofits , not just those that are  ‘good enough’?

TOMORROW:  GIVING MARKETS To ensure that funding goes to the  highest-performing nonprofits ,  traditional donors will need to become  social investors . How might  traditional donors  become  social investors  who demand a high social return  on their investment?
