Reimagining Philanthropy: Investing in Visibility & Media to Power Change

GREAT ROOM

The mission to Make Good Famous begins with visibility. That means ensuring the same resources and recognition often granted to celebrities and influencers are extended to changemakers. Yet, the investment to raise the visibility of leaders and their work through media, entertainment and other means has, historically, not often been prioritized. How can we disrupt the traditional mode of philanthropy to recognize the value of visibility when it comes to creating meaningful change and, in doing so, further democratize philanthropy?
