Grantmaking Goes Catalytic

Catalytic grantmaking is crucial for foundations to generate effective and long-term positive impact for people and planet. However, it requires knowledge, courage, collaboration and dedication.

Fortunately, Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo brings all of these qualities to their catalytic grantmaking. They are one of Europe’s leading foundations, committed to supporting people, planet and culture in northwestern Italy. Using their experience with Next Generation YOU and Next Generation WE, key stakeholders from Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo will explain why they chose the long-term path, how they tackled challenges, filled gaps, worked in collaboration with different stakeholders and built capacity for organisations’ sustainable development.

As part of a series of e-talks in partnership with Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, this e-talk builds on the first (“Granting to develop, not deter, enterprise”) to continue the conversation on catalytic grantmaking. Join us for an insightful, practical and interactive discussion, applicable for any foundation seeking to be more catalytic.
