“If we want to really create deeper change, we think philanthropy should not remain simply a sector that fills gaps left by government or market, but actually helps trigger transformation”, Benjamin Bellegy. The ‘Illuminating the Invisible’ report, by Propel Philanthropy and Alliance magazine, supported by WINGS, features insights on the work of Social Impact Infrastructure Organisations (SIIOs) and their contribution to #TransformPhilanthropy.

Demographic data is a key tool for #philanthropy to understand those it intends to serve. However, the lack of comprehensive and public demographic data makes the grant-making process less efficient. Candid invites funders, nonprofit member associations, and philanthropy-serving organisations in the USA to join as partners for the 'Demographics via Candid' initiative. The initiative aims to standardise demographic data and reduce nonprofits’ reporting burdens.
