Glen Galaich: Big philanthropy and the Mindset of Control

Saison 1 · Épisode 115

vendredi 2 octobre 2026 • Durée 58:09

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode we talk to Glen Galaich, CEO of Stupski Foundation about his new book Control: Why big giving falls short, why the 'mindset of control' is pervasive in elite philanthropy, and why that is a problem. Including:

What is the mindset of control, and why is it so prevalent?
What are the main problems this mindset gives rise to?
Are there donors who have successfully rejected this mindset? If so, how, and what does that look like?
Are we guilty as a society of conflating wealth with wisdom?
How does the mindset of control lead to low levels of foundation payout?
Is the process of giving power or control away necessarily uncomfortable?
Should we view foundation assets as public, rather than private? How would this affect the ways in which we think about them?
If philanthropy was done without taking advantage of tax breaks, would the same arguments still apply?
Why is it important to scrutinise or critique philanthropy?
What does writing a book like Control teach you about how to frame critiques of philanthropy most effectively?
Does the current climate, in which philanthropy and nonprofits feel under attack from external political critics (especially in the US), make people more defensive in response to insider critiques of the sort explored in the book?
To what extent do foundations exist in perpetuity as a default, rather than an active choice?
Would it be enough to shift this norm? (i.e. allow for foundations to be perpetual, but make that more of an opt-in/active choice than it is currently?)
What should continue to give us hope about big giving's potential as a force for good in the world? What presents the biggest barrier to that hope?

Monica Stryker: Philanthropy and the war in Ukraine

Saison 1 · Épisode 114

vendredi 18 septembre 2026 • Durée 58:17

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode we talk to Monica Stryker, the network coordinator of Foundations for Ukraine, about the role philanthropy has played during the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Foundations for Ukraine is a global network of philanthropic organisations working in and with Ukraine, bringing together philanthropies from Australia, Ukraine, Europe and North America.

The Network coordinates, convenes, supports learning and amplifies Ukraine on the global philanthropic agenda.

It also supports the development of local philanthropy in Ukraine and traces how engagement in Ukraine is changing philanthropic practices in ways increasingly relevant in a world of growing and competing urgent demands.

In the episode we discuss:

What was the context for philanthropy and civil society in Ukraine prior to the war?
Was there an increase in outside philanthropic support for Ukraine at the start of the war?
Has this been maintained, or have we seen signs of donor fatigue?
What types of sources has funding come from? (e.g. individuals, foundations, corporates?)
Has support for Ukraine fit into the existing missions of foundations, or has it been seen as additional?
How much philanthropic support is going to local Ukrainian organisation vs large INGOs?
How much giving to Ukraine is bypassing traditional intermediaries and nonprofits – e.g. being given in the form of direct P2P gifts?
How much domestic philanthropy has there been in Ukraine during the war?
How have CSOs in Ukraine harnessed technology to drive donations?
What needs is the funding being used to address?
Is philanthropic support being used to pay for military resources as well as medical/humanitarian needs? Does the notion of ‘lethal aid’ test the boundaries of what we think of as philanthropy?
Are there any practical challenges when it comes to getting funding to where it is needed?
What have CSOs and philanthropy organisations in Ukraine done to adapt to the challenges of operating in a wartime context?

Michael Jarvis: Global philanthropy in a post-USAID world

Saison 1 · Épisode 113

vendredi 4 septembre 2026 • Durée 54:44

Send us Fan Mail

On this episode we hear from Michael Jarvis, Executive Director of the Trust, Accountability and Inclusion Collaborative, about the challenges and opportunities for global philanthropy in a post-USAID world. Including:

How are funders responding to the withdrawal of USAID funding?
Is there any sense in which this crisis also present an opportunity to make fundamental changes to our models of aid and development that many have been arguing for over many years?
Why have we seen such remarkable growth in the scale and profile of Asian Philanthropy in recent years? What is driving this?
Do the philanthropic norms, narratives and practices that are emerging in some of the new centres of power in Asia differ from those that have dominated in the UK, US and Europe? In what ways?
How much of the philanthropy that is emerging is domestically-focussed versus looking outwards? Will this change in coming years?
Should Asian philanthropy have a larger voice in global development and governance conversations?
Is Asian philanthropy currently more likely to be aligned with government priorities? What does this mean in terms of engaging with it?
Where are we seeing other centres of philanthropic power emerge beyond Asia? How do these compare in terms of scale and characteristics?
Is the landscape of global cross-border funding going to become much more genuinely global?
Will this blur some of the boundaries that have traditionally been perceived between “donor” and “recipient” countries?
What needs to be done to ensure that we maximise the value of future philanthropic globalisation?
What is the relationship between transparency and trust? Is it as simple as “more transparency = more trust”, or is it more nuanced than that?
When it comes to risk, is the role of an intermediary like TAI to reduce the risk for funders, or to help them shift their own risk tolerance so they can fund directly in future?

What kinds of biases or mindsets do people bring to philanthropy when they come from other sectors?
What does a funder need to figure out in order to connect what they are trying to achieve with what they should be doing?
Do funders too often fall into the trap of narrowing their focus too much or too quickly? Why is this a problem?
Why is giving up control so fundamental for philanthropy?
Do foundations have to accept the need to make choices? And that those choices necessarily mean picking certain organizations and cause areas over others?
Why is “main character syndrome” a big risk for philanthropy?
Is there too much emphasis on “working in gaps”, when it would actually be better for funders to work in the same areas to some extent?
What is the difference between a “good failure” and a “bad failure” in philanthropy, and how foundations ensure that they have more of the former than the latter?
Are there just “different ways of doing philanthropy” that are equally valid, or are some ‘better’ or ‘worse’ than others?
What value can a historical perspective bring for philanthropists, funders and non-profit professionals?
