NNCG Masthead
Social Justice Philanthropy (SJP): Theory, Practice, and Impact
September 8, 2016 - 12:00-1:00 PM Eastern
This webinar takes up the challenges and opportunities that emerge when social justice aspirations meet philanthropic practice.  According to the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP), social justice philanthropy (SJP) has a transformational agenda; its aim is to reform institutions in order to create a more equitable distribution of power, thus eliminating the need for ongoing charity.
 
This tall order is the entry point for this 3-part webinar that considers 1) theories of philanthropy (TOP) related to theories of change (TOC) in social justice grant making, 2) the challenges of evaluating SJP practice, and 3) approaches to advancing SJP within the broader field of philanthropy. 
 
Led by NNCG member Dr. Becky Lentz, a former Ford Foundation program officer and now professor of media and communication studies researching and teaching social justice philanthropy, the webinar will include experienced SJP grantmakers, an evaluator and capacity building professional specialized in social justice work, and a senior researcher with the NCRP. Panelists will discuss the three topics and respond to NNCG member questions.
