In a moment when communities need philanthropy that can respond and adapt, donor-advised funds (DAFs) give donors the flexibility to put their values into action.

At Moore Philanthropy, we meet donors wherever they are in their giving journey, from those getting started with our Mockingbird Account to those looking to deepen their giving through a traditional DAF. We help donors move resources with intention, respond to evolving needs, and plan their giving for the long term.

This , explore how a DAF can help you give with greater purpose and flexibility. https://moorephilanthropy.com/daf-services/

During UNGA, we were glad to join Honeycomb Impact and Funders of African Descent for a Black Women in Philanthropy Happy Hour, bringing together Black women across philanthropy for an evening of connection and conversation.

That spirit of connection continues through the African Diaspora Philanthropic Advisor Network (ADPA), an initiative of Moore Philanthropy that connects, educates, and elevates philanthropic advisors and consultants from the African Diaspora who guide, influence, or lead the philanthropic goals of individuals, families, and institutions worldwide.

It’s not a really complicated formula.” Our Founder and Managing Director Yvonne Moore, joined Khayriyyah MuhammadSmith, on Bring Your Own Chair x Black Women Give Back to reflect on what philanthropy could be, why the best ideas come from community, the gap between stated values and practice, and the power each of us has to use our position with intention.

We’re proud to see the Giving Infrastructure Fund, housed at Moore Philanthropy, featured in a WINGS case study highlighting its approach to strengthening the financial resilience of racial equity organizations.

The Fund invests in the systems that enable organizations to raise support from everyday people in their communities. The approach aims to shift away from chronic financial uncertainty toward greater stability, flexibility, and long-term resilience.

For Moore, this reflects something central to : communities have always resourced, sustained, and cared for one another. Strengthening the infrastructure behind that giving can help grassroots organizations survive and grow stronger over time. This Black Philanthropy Month, we’re proud to share this case study and highlight approaches centered on strengthening the infrastructure of everyday giving. https://transformphilanthropy.wingsweb.org/case-studies/the-giving-infrastructure-fund

“We need to be less WEIRD. In doing so, we’ll become more effective, more accountable, and more worthy of the trust communities place in us.”

In The Nonprofit Quarterly, our Founder and Managing Director, Yvonne Moore, with Jessyca Dudley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bold Ventures, and Radhika Nayar, Independent Philanthropy Advisor, challenge philanthropy to rethink due diligence, fund collaboratively, support existing community infrastructure, and learn from communities that have long understood how to respond to crises without waiting for strategic plans.

The article examines what U.S. funders can learn from Global Majority philanthropic practice and why the sector must become more responsive, community-directed, and human-centered.

Read “Be Less WEIRD: What US Funders Can Learn from Global Majority Philanthropic Practice,” and let us know what you think.

US philanthropy is based on being WEIRD: Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. Lessons from the philanthropic practices of Global Majority and Indigenous populations are crucial for tackling some of philanthropy’s—and the world’s—most pressing issues.
