Reimagining global philanthropy : the community bank model of social development / by Bowman, Kirk S.,author.; Wilcox, Jon R.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Reassessing The Philanthropist's Burden -- Everybody Wants to Change the World: The Boom in International Philanthropy -- Lessons from the Contemporary Global Philanthropy Practice -- The Community Bank Model of International Philanthropy -- Rise Up & Care, The Demonstration Project -- Reimagining Impact Assessment -- Actors of Resistance -- A Call to Action."Well-meaning Westerners want to find ways to help the less fortunate. Today, many are not just volunteering abroad and donating to international nonprofits but also advancing innovations and launching projects that aim to be socially transformative. However, often these activities are not efficient ways of helping others, and too many projects cause more harm than good. Reimagining Global Philanthropy shares the journey of a conservative banker and a progressive professor to find a better way forward. Kirk S. Bowman and Jon R. Wilcox explain the boom in the global compassion industry, revealing the incentives that produce inefficient practices and poor outcomes. Instead of supporting start-up projects with long-shot hopes for success, they argue, we can dramatically improve results by empowering local leaders. Applying lessons from the success of community banks, Bowman and Wilcox develop and implement a new model that significantly raises philanthropic efficacy. Their straightforward and rigorously tested approach calls for community members to take the lead while outside partners play a supporting role. Bowman and Wilcox recount how they tested the model in Brazil, demonstrating that when people in marginalized communities are given the opportunity to innovate, the bang for the buck of philanthropy multiplies. For a time of widespread social reckoning, this book shows how global philanthropy can confront its blind spots and failures in order to achieve truly transformative outcomes"--
