[ACTION DIALOGUES]

What are they?

Working groups formed by members of Filantropía Puerto Rico (FiPR) to explore topics of interest and to coordinate strategies and actions that result in higher impact for the philanthropic ecosystem.

In these private spaces, FiPR connects grantmakers working in Puerto Rico for them to learn and strengthen relationships that amplify the impact of their programs, projects and aspirations.

Who participates?

This is a member exclusive service of Filantropía Puerto Rico, but we occasionally invite outside professionals and organizations to build relationships and learn from their work in the field.

What do members gain?

Engagement opportunities and support from peers with shared values
Trust-based relationships
Learning from local field experts
Knowledge & resource sharing (i.e. other’s funding priorities or experiences)

Strategic alignment of donations for accelerated action and greater impact
Joint-action opportunities
A coordinated structure that deepens conversation.

What our member are saying

I learned about how the various entities are addressing issues of diversity in their own institutions and are funding efforts to support their grantees’ efforts to address them in their organizations and communities.

The facilitator "managed to maintain a core group of “engaged” foundations and participating in this space and have managed to create trust between all of them.

Increased knowledge of others' initiatives and of experts in related fields.

I have gained more insight about participatory grantmaking

I learned about the different approaches and initiatives that other philanthropic entities are investing in and opportunity areas for co-funding.

What is Filantropía Puerto Rico's role ?

Every year our members decide on topics they wish to explore and FiPR brings them into a space of trust every 4-6 weeks. As a facilitator we invite relevant actors from the sector for inspiration; organize pledges, webinars or studies; and foster the creation of alliances or the launch of initiatives derived from our dialogues.
