Job Search Client Services Practice Areas About Us Content Centre Case Studies PHILANTHROPY AND FOUNDATIONS Inspirational Leaders for Impactful Giving “Nearly all the best funders have one thing in common: they employ staff with experience working in non-profits” John Rendel, Director of Grants, The Peter Cundill Foundation As trends in philanthropy are shifting towards more focussed and impact-driven giving, Trusts and Foundations are increasingly looking to the sectors they support when they recruit new leaders. Non-profit professionals can bring valuable expertise in their specific sectors, as well as a deep understanding of the importance of impact measurement in determining the social return of an investment. Thought leadership and an understanding of what it takes to build and lead a successful non-profit, are critical skills which can transfer to a more informed and impactful giving agenda. DOWNLOAD OUR GLOBAL BROCHURE At Oxford HR we have a team drawn from across the spectrum of non-profit leadership and executive search, and an extensive network of inspirational and impactful leaders. We work hand in hand with our trust and foundation clients to understand the motivation behind their giving strategy and ensure that we tailor our search to maximise the positive change realised by their gifts. We have worked successfully with a number of trusts and foundations such as the Gatsby Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and Porticus to place exceptional candidates, and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your executive search needs. Knowledge Festival 2021 Our first panel of the 2021 Knowledge Festival was New Frontiers in Funding. Our panel looked at how to foster greater trust between funders and grantees, and considered what grantees can proactively do to move funders towards vital unrestricted giving. The conversation also considered how new funding models such as outcomes funding can empower charities to attract less restricted funding, and whether shifts in the power dynamics to promote greater local leadership of NGOs also lend themselves to less restricted funding. Speakers include John Rendel, Director of Grants at The Peter Cundill Foundation (PCF) and Founder of PEAS, Moky Makura, Executive Director of Africa No Filter, Amel Karboul, CEO of the Education Outcomes Fund, and Katrin McMillan, Founder and CEO of Hello World.
