The recently released “Why Contests Improve Philanthropy” [CLICK FOR INFOGRAPHICS] compiles lessons from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation’s six years of offering open philanthropic contests.
In this episode of Social Change, listen to the report’s author and Knight foundation vice president for strategy and assessment Mayur Patel and 2010 Knight Arts Challenge winner Willie Stewart discuss why contests are an opportunity for foundations to step out of their comfort zones and reach “unusual suspects,” such as individuals and organizations without 501(c)(3) status.
