1. During the 2010 Haiti earthquake relief efforts, less than 1% of funding raised went directly to local Haitian organisations.
2. The deep connections and local knowledge that community funds have mean that, in times of crisis, they can really make a difference. They know where people are, how to reach and help them, and they’re there for the long haul.
3. You need three things to bring about long-term social change: a lawyer, an activist and a storyteller.
4. What will it take to find new, simpler, more accessible ways to talk about our work without feeling like we’ve sold our souls to the devil?
5. Maybe when @EllenD35 said we had to be “uncomfortable” she was referring to Hermes and Aphrodite #AGAMilan2015.
And just one more:
“Shall we shake hands, or do you want to go straight to the poke?”
EFC, could you please provide us with a practical protocol for poking before the next AGA?
Thanks.

Philanthropy, with its focus on strategic giving and impactful change, is akin to playing a game where every decision can lead to new opportunities. In the same vein, the Slope game is all about making swift decisions as you speed down a slope, avoiding obstacles, and aiming for a high score. It's a game that requires quick reflexes and a strategic mind, much like navigating the complex world of philanthropy. So, if you're looking to sharpen your decision-making skills or just need a break from the serious business of change-making, give Slope a try—it's philanthropy at the speed of fun!
