Spring 2023: Catalytic Leadership in Philanthropy
In This Issue
After more than a decade of study, Exponent Philanthropy is proud to champion Catalytic Leadership in Philanthropy (CLIP), a transformational leadership style that empowers lean funders to make long-term, systemic change around an issue of focus that their community or field has prioritized. Lean funders who engage in CLIP zero in on their giving; offer flexible, long-term funding; build strong relationships with grantees and the community; and leverage nongrant assets.
