What if philanthropy were more open? How much more could we achieve? Tris Lumley talks with Rhodri Davies, host of the Philanthropisms Podcast, about how philanthropy can open up.
In this podcast, Tris and Rhodri discuss the difference between “outward openness” and “inward openness” in philanthropy, how funders can be more transparent, how we can make better use of open data in philanthropy, what inclusion means for measurement, and how we balance experience with expertise.
