Description
Unfunded List’s Open Door Philanthropy Podcast gathers philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers of all stripes. Hosted by Dave Moss, who founded Unfunded List in 2015 to help make sure that the next generation of changemakers get the feedback and recognition they need to be successful. Our mission is to demystify and open the door to private philanthropy for the general public while providing a platform for our guests to discuss their life's work. Unfunded List reviews funding proposals twice annually from small and mid-size nonprofits and social impact startups. The 200+ philanthropy experts on our evaluation committee give helpful and candid feedback about each grant proposal’s weaknesses & strengths. Then we publish the best proposals to our list that we circulate to a rolodex of foundations and philanthropists in the hopes that we can find some funding and partnerships for these amazing unfunded proposals. Unfunded List is currently accepting proposals for our Spring 2019 evaluation round until March 15, 2019. We invite your org to join the Unfunded List awardees and 100+ other projects that our funding evaluators have given feedback to since 2015. Find out more and submit at www.unfundedlist.com.

Founding a new organization has great potential for impact, but it is often more effective to join organizations that are established and already doing work that is important to you. No one is an island and even leaders and founders do not do the work in a vacuum. This panel focuses on ways to be involved -- through paid work or volunteerism -- with projects that you are passionate about without starting something from scratch. All of today's panelists, none of whom are founders, have had great impact with their respective organizations and have joined us today to talk about it.Moderator: Margaret Chapman, Unfunded ListPanelists:Anne Stauffer, Pew Charitable TrustsMarQuis Fair, Kaiser PermanenteElizabeth Franklin, Cancer Support Institute Hosted on Acast.
