Successful philanthropists are driven by a desire for impact at scale, designing initiatives that can reach broad and meaningful change. While there are various paths to achieving scale, these often require innovation, experimentation, and a willingness to take risks, along with strong partnerships. They adopt a "portfolio" approach to philanthropy, recognizing that collaboration can enhance their efforts in certain areas. These philanthropists focus on a select number of issues, understanding the need to develop deep expertise and acknowledging the complexity and interconnectedness of social challenges. They recognize that there is no single solution, but rather a range of approaches, which may evolve over time. Instead of reinventing the wheel, they look to learn from the work of others, leveraging their own experiences—both successes and failures—and consulting with experts when needed. They actively capture and share their insights, contributing to the broader philanthropy ecosystem, and encouraging others to improve and expand their efforts to create a more just, fair, and sustainable world.
