    Beyond Fundraising: What Does It Mean to Build a Culture of Philanthropy?

    The Haas, Jr. Fund's widely used guide to building a culture of philanthropy. It defines one as an organisation where everyone, board, staff and executive director, plays a part in raising resources; where fundraising is built on relationships; and where development is valued and woven into everything the organisation does. It offers practical recommendations for sharing fundraising responsibility, aligning it with the mission and keeping donors engaged.

    Creative Disruption

    Deborah Linnell and Tim Wolfred's study of what happens when nonprofit leaders take a funded sabbatical. It draws on surveys of 61 sabbatical awardees and 30 interim leaders from programmes run by six funders, including the Durfee Foundation, the Barr Foundation and the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund. It found that sabbaticals rejuvenate leaders, build second-tier leadership, strengthen boards, work as a dry run for succession and help leaders stay in their jobs longer. It ends with advice for funders on grants, selection, and support before and after the leave.
