Donor Perspectives Submission

"Donor Perspectives" Submission Form

We invite you to contribute your own stories to supplement the Stanford PACS Guide to Effective Philanthropy!
We believe donor stories are a wonderful way to bring to life the theories and practices of effective philanthropy which is why you will find so many stories sprinkled throughout our text.

Do you have a story or perspective to share? We invite you to compose your donor story (of ~200-500 words) on one of the following topics:
- Finding Your Focus
- Involving Family
- Learning About Philanthropy With and From Others
- Giving Vehicles
- Understanding Nonprofit Problems, Their Causes, and Approaches to Solutions
- Theory of Change, Monitoring, and Evaluation: Understanding an Organization’s Activities, Outcomes, and Impact
- Finding Effective Organizations
- Due Diligence: Vetting and Evaluating Organizations
- Engaging Organizations and Developing Relationships With Their Leadership
- Making Gifts
- Funding with Others: Collaboration and Pooled Funding
- Socially Motivated Investing
And if you have a donor story that doesn’t necessarily fit one of these topics, please send it along anyway, and we’ll try to find a place for it.

We will review all submissions and may work with you to provide feedback or propose a few edits to the piece. If accepted, we will post the story in a new section under the relevant chapter on our website titled “Donor Perspectives.”
