Philanthropy is often described as society’s “risk capital.” However, the idea of risk in philanthropy quickly muddies as we direct our generosity through a foundation, donor-advised fund, giving circle, or other collective effort. Our ideas about–and tolerance for–risk diverge, shaped by family, professional, volunteer, and other experiences. In this session, you’ll learn how funders can clarify types of philanthropic risk, assess and manage risk, and expand their comfort zone to embrace increased uncertainty in their strategies.
