This funder is getting to the root of major problems with a 'Do, Learn, Share' approach to philanthropy
In 2005, Philanthropist Charlotte Wagner had a vision as she established her family's foundation in Boston, Massachusetts.would work to build just and robust community across the globe by way of engaging with organizations that focussed on improving health equity, increasing economic mobility, expanding institutional fairness, and striving for cultural transformation. After spending the first few years focused on local organizations, the foundation expanded its lens outside of the U.S.
Complex dynamics were what led Wagner to see the role that underlying, harmful social norms played in ensuring her funding focus, accessible, quality health care, could truly be achieved."Some may look at our foundation now and say that we became broad and general after those travels but in many ways, we are finally impacting the focus area we began with. We learned that it would become important for us to take an expansive view if we really sought to have lasting philanthropic impact.
And as a revolutionary vehicle for change, Root Capital needs the right partners who understand the risks-and opportunities-of its mission. Risks, that according to development team member Jessica Lee, require deep relationships and the openness to have honest conversations with funders and partners. Honest conversations that require funding partners who are giving back to learn and grow themselves.
