A guide from Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors offers foundation board members and leaders insights on systems change as a means of driving more—and more sustainable—impact, and how they can be instrumental in transforming their organization’s approach to embrace systems change. Facilitating Equitable Systems Change: A Guide to Help Foundation Board Members and Executive Leadership Lead the Way (19 pages, PDF) explains what systems change is, why it should be equitable, why foundations should embrace it, what role philanthropy leaders could play in advancing systems change, and why some do not prioritize it. The report’s authors suggest that foundations can advance systems change in various ways, including through advocacy, funding disruption and innovation, information and amplification, building new institutions, and changing perspectives. The report also notes that grantmakers who do not directly fund such efforts can still foster systems change by, for example, establishing long-term grantee relationships and providing flexible multiyear support, providing general operating support, streamlining grantee application and reporting processes, and pooling or creating other collaborative funding vehicles with other funders.
