Learning is a constant cycle of doing and thinking about how we can do better-- always being on the lookout for lessons in the lives and the work of others, so we can then apply those lessons ourselves.
Learning is core to the work of the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund. As we join with partners in our community, our state and across the nation to advance rights and create opportunities, we want to identify and lift up lessons in what’s working, and also in what is not. It’s the only way to keep making progress toward a just and compassionate society.
Today, we are sharing three reports in an effort to “learn out loud” about lessons emerging from the work we do and support. One report looks at how a foundation collaborative is supporting local efforts to increase civic participation among diverse communities in California and the other two explore what it takes to fundamentally “reset” how nonprofit organizations and the social sector think about and approach the work of fundraising.
All three reports offer different perspectives on how to “do better” in the work of lasting social change. We hope you’ll explore the reports below, and join in learning out loud.
