Giloth and Gewirtz argue that systematically sharing mistakes is an underutilized yet powerful strategy for philanthropic learning and accountability. They distinguish between "constructive" and "non-constructive" errors, positing that thoughtful reflection on failures fosters adaptability and prevents more significant, costlier setbacks. The authors strongly advocate for integrating routine mistake-sharing into the core culture of foundations. This practice, they contend, not only enhances organizational effectiveness but also builds a more transparent and resilient philanthropic sector capable of continuous improvement.
