Becoming Big Bettable

This supplement to Stanford Social Innovation Review, "Unleashing Philanthropy's Big Bets for Social Change," explores how large-scale philanthropic investments are transforming social sector efforts. It features perspectives from leaders on what constitutes a "big bet," their achievements, the requirements for securing them, and strategies to expand opportunities for such significant gifts. The authors emphasize the importance of enabling social change leaders to envision and deploy far-reaching contributions that can catalyze transformative impact. The report also encourages donors to look beyond their immediate networks to support a broader diversity of initiatives and leaders, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, to achieve greater equity.
