Meet our Grantees
Zing Foundation /Bolder Giving
Coaching and philanthropy, and the journalistic recording of stories – the Zing Foundation’s Bolder Giving project hits all the HF’s marks.
Add the visionary leadership of two pioneers in donor activism and coaching people with high net worth, and this grant adds up to an investment we think is worth making.
Bolder Giving encourages everyone, but especially those who have abundant financial resources, to make more generous, strategic, courageous philanthropic investments in social change.
The organization provides media training for Bolder Givers so that they might serve as inspiration and example to others, maintains a website of inspiring stories, provides coaching for those seeking help in becoming bolder givers, and spreads the word effectively.
The founders are well-connected in social activism and wealth circles, and have a good track record of encouraging individual donors to increase their gifts by dramatic amounts.
When asked why he robbed banks, the criminal Willie “The Actor” Sutton replied, “Because that’s where the money is.”
Why give to a nonprofit that coaches people of means to become more visionary in their philanthropy? Because that’s where the money is.
