In particular, B3 (Black-led, -serving and -focused) organizations historically have received a minuscule amount of philanthropic funding, as revealed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forblackcommunities.org\/reports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Unfunded Report<\/em><\/a> (on which the MPNL program collaborated).<\/p>\n<h2>The Essential Contributions to the Charity Ecosystem<\/h2>\n<p>In a 2023 op-ed in <em>The Globe and Mail<\/em>, Lisa Wolverton (President of the Philanthropy Workshop Canada) admonished philanthropy to change: \u201cCharitable donations must go directly to communities. . . It\u2019s time more donors put funds directly into the hands of local leaders, giving them crucial decision-making power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I agree. But, with an addendum \u2013 that may not be a popular one.<\/p>\n<p>Community-based, service-providing organizations are part of a larger ecosystem or, in business language, they&#8217;re part of and depend upon a \u2018supply chain\u2019 that provides a wide range of vital inputs and supports. As with an environmental ecosystem, the charitable\/social purpose one has multiple niches, each of which makes distinctive contributions. But, these niche parts of the ecosystem are often invisible to those, including donors, who don&#8217;t work in this sector. To name a few of these essential contributions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Umbrella and membership organizations and communities of practice facilitate information sharing, so organizations better appreciate what works and what doesn\u2019t, and thus, organizations don\u2019t have to \u2018reinvent wheels.\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Universities and colleges provide professional education and training that help local leaders and employees of community-based groups be more effective in their work and build more vibrant, sustainable organizations.<\/li>\n<li>Infrastructure organizations, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imaginecanada.ca\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Imagine Canada<\/a>, and advocacy groups, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.endhomelessnessottawa.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alliance to End Homelessness<\/a>, lead collective action and advocacy that help local organizations bring about social change.<\/li>\n<li>Other infrastructure organizations and coalitions are assisting small nonprofits to navigate the digital transformation and make better use of data, leading to more efficient and effective administration and service delivery.<\/li>\n<li>Community-serving foundations, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forblackcommunities.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foundation for Black Communities<\/a>, and place-based community foundations convene and support local leadership and inform key stakeholders about community.<\/li>\n<li>Research projects, such as Carleton University\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cicp-pcpob\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charity Insights Canada Project (CICP)<\/a> and the surveys conducted by national and provincial infrastructure organizations, help community nonprofits and the broader sector understand trends that directly affect their work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The &#8216;Boots on the Ground&#8217; Need a Ground, Not to Mention an Infrastructure<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-7867 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Photo-is-courtesy-of-Clay-Banks550-300x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Photo-is-courtesy-of-Clay-Banks550-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Photo-is-courtesy-of-Clay-Banks550-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Photo-is-courtesy-of-Clay-Banks550.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/>Canadian philanthropy tends to overlook this supporting infrastructure or doesn\u2019t appreciate the potential return on investment in it, and thus starves it of funding. This has negative consequences for those with \u2018boots on the ground\u2019, as they miss out on sources of professional development and leadership training, learning for innovation, and collaborative efforts for social change.<\/p>\n<p>My case isn&#8217;t to divert support from community-based charities and nonprofits, particularly from those focused on causes and communities that are marginalized or historically excluded. Rather, we also need to recognize the value of and direct support to the broader infrastructure for the sector \u2013 for collective action and learning, advocacy, digital transformation, and yes, for education and research. Such funding doesn&#8217;t need to detract from that which flows to local communities but can amplify its impact.<\/p>\n<p>Foundations, corporations and philanthropists making major contributions are the likely investors in this infrastructure. However, many don\u2019t like to support advocacy, networking, research or professional education (except in medicine and business). While more foundations are indicating they support sector capacity-building, it&#8217;s often not clear what this means or how deep and advanced such work is. In many cases, the impediment is a lack of knowledge of who does what in the sector ecosystem. Enhancing this understanding may take some work by the sector and by the media who report in such limited ways about it.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s not popular to seek funding for a university\u2019s part in this ecosystem, as there are so many other immediate needs and worthwhile organizations, I&#8217;ll continue to press the case for the value of investing in education and research for the sector \u2013 as well as the case for supporting other important parts of the sector\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dr. Susan Phillips is on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/susan-phillips-22096832\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a>.
