Nonprofit Sector's Messaging Creates Confusion, But Better Stories Can Build Trust |
|
The Council on Foundations and the Center for Public Interest Communications announced the release of Philanthropyās New Voice, a study on narratives in philanthropy.
The report, resulting from a yearlong, multimethod study, found that a big part of the reason Americans donāt understand philanthropy, or its impact on their lives, is the sectorās own messaging. But the report also offers science-backed strategies to build understanding and trust, starting with the words foundations use, and the stories they tell.
āFoundations play an indispensable role in communities across the country, but the important role philanthropy plays in American society is unclear to many,ā said Council on Foundations President and CEO Kathleen Enright. āWith these research-backed recommendations, philanthropy can adapt to counter harmful narratives and build trust.ā
āItās clear from our research that the American public, members of Congress and their staff, and sector practitioners want foundations to be more transparent and share details about how philanthropy works,ā said the Center for Public Interest Communications Director and report co-author Ann Searight Christiano. āUsing this report, foundations can learn how to tell relatable, ethical stories that provide the right kind of transparency, including nitty-gritty details and the perspectives of foundation staff and community partners.ā
Part of the study analyzed 10 types of storytelling narratives and found that all 10 resulted in higher perceived trust, transparency, and effectiveness in foundations - and lower concerns - compared with existing stories about philanthropy. Trust increased the most with stories that include specifics about how money is spent and how decisions are made.
In addition, interviews with congressional staffers and analysis of Congressmember social media posts revealed that, with some notable exceptions, members of Congress have positive perceptions of philanthropy and seem more interested in collaboration with foundations than increased regulation - but their lack of understanding of the charitable sector is holding them back from potential partnerships.
The report, free for all to download, pulled findings from:
- A national survey of 3,557 Americans sampled from diverse identity and ideological backgrounds to match U.S. demographics;
- A survey of communications practitioners who work in the sector;
- Multiple types of content analyses;
- Interviews with Congressional staffers and communications practitioners;
- Social media listening across platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and X
