The Map of Possibility: Philanthropy
For Funders Looking to Go to New Places
The Map of Possibility Expands the Horizon
The Map of Possibility: Philanthropy is a crowdsourced imagination and storytelling initiative being conducted by Ignited Word LLC, along with interested partners and sponsors. By aggregating examples of where change is already happening, its primary purpose will be to inspire a shift in U.S. philanthropy towards a daring and smartly-deployed largesse and a justice-centric partnership with civil society.
The map is meant to be populated and brought to life through a series of dialogues hosted by funders, philanthropy networks, philanthropy effectiveness organizations, and kindred organizations. As such, the map can be thought of as a sort of traveling interactive exhibit, though it also lives right here.
The Journey Starts Here
Make the Journey. Contact info@ignitedword.com for a facilitated journey through the map. This virtual conversation will allow up to 20 participants from one or more philanthropic organizations to reflect together on where on the map their own practices lie (what has been their journey and what have they done, learned), and to add their examples to the map. #inspirationiscontagious.
Chart Your Future. The journey will also involve a future stories exercise where the participants imagine and articulate their future philanthropy. These future stories too, can be added to the map as a shared record and to inspire others. #inspirationiscontagious.
Share Your Leadership. Through a share-out session, storytelling deck, and/or social media package, Ignited Word will help you share your organization’s journey as a testament to your leadership in this current moment. #inspirationiscontagious.
