Root Causes and Saving Babies

On Monday evening I had the good fortune to attend an education session presented to our Women 4 Change contributors. The presentation was given by Suzanne Brown of Neighbourhood Development Strategies with the City of Hamilton and our very own Grants Manager, Sharon Charters.

The sessions focus was on supporting root causes and concluded with a well led and thoughtful discussion about how to structure your philanthropy that was guided using a parable (by Steven E. Mayer) about saving babies. It is worth reading and can be found athttps://effectivecommunities.com/pdfs/ECP_SavingBabies.pdf.
