Giving With Impact

Over the last century, philanthropy has played a pivotal role in underwriting positive social change. Generous giving has helped eradicate polio, reduce smoking rates in the United States by more than 60 percent, provide easy access to free libraries to 96 percent of Americans, and promote a "green revolution" that dramatically increased agricultural production.

As generosity and philanthropic ambition continue to advance solutions to stubborn social problems, funders and practitioners are increasingly looking to improve their efforts. This series, sponsored by Schwab Charitable, will feature special podcasts and webinars in which civil society leaders will discuss how to maximize charitable impact.
