For almost five years, The Charis Foundation has been facilitating conversations with charity leaders and donors to discuss how to bring greater health and wholeness to the Christian charitable-philanthropic sector. We have been doing this alongside Brent Fearon of The Foundation Office, Lauri Thompson from Tapestry Philanthropy Partners, and Consultant Dr. Rod Wilson. We asked Dr. Wilson to write a summary of our shared conversations to date. We hope you find the article thought-provoking and invite your feedback on our reflections.

We have been asking how we can leverage our invested assets for social and spiritual good. We invited Third Way Capital to share their understanding and approach to impact investing.

If you are a leader of a charitable or philanthropic organization you likely began 2020 with a whole set of goals and objectives that were thrown out the window before the first quarter ended. 

Charities in our circle have done an amazing job pivoting (re-imagining, redeploying) in response to COVID-19 within their communities.

Dear Charity Leaders and Donors,  These are unprecedented times. How often have you heard that sentiment lately?
