Opening the Imagination
to the ‘Possible’ of Philanthropy
Dr. Jason Franklin, W.K. Kellogg Community Philanthropy Chair
• What did you help your client achieve?
• How did your engagement change their philanthropic decisions or actions?
• How did they feel about the experience?
• How did you feel about the experience?
When were you at your best as a philanthropic advisor?
Ways to expand the possible
1. Don’t just advise…inspire!
Inspiration strategies
• “No barrier” questions & prompts– If you could wave a magic wand…–What would wild success look like?
• Parameter changes–What if you added a zero?–What if you could only give to one group?
