This presentation was used at the Philanthropy of Community Conference in Wilmington in November 2009.
The Philanthropy of Community (PoC) Program builds on the understanding and practices of informal and formal giving and investments that exist in communities. The PoC Program provides research, tools and education and training on how to document, analyze and expand the giving of time, talent and treasure within and among organizations, communities, individuals and families.
By recognizing, nurturing and developing existing giving and giving patterns in community, acts of community giving grow in multiple dimensions, including the giving of financial assets.
The Philanthropy of Community Program is a partnership between NCGives and the Center for Community Action. (www.ncgives.org/poc)

30. Philanthropy of Community … .is a model and practice that recognizes that philanthropy is the giving of people’s time, talent, know-how, energy, and treasure. While conventional philanthropy usuallydefines giving solely in terms of the giving of money, the philanthropy “of” community – in contrast to the philanthropy “for” community – amplifies all the existing and emerging relationships of giving that are the foundation and sustenance of human community.
