I am deeply grateful to be a part of the MetaIntegral community and to share this work with you and others.
The MetaIntegral Foundation and its many donors were pivotal partners in my prior research which established that there is, indeed, a relationship between our developmental levels and how we approach philanthropy. Specifically, how we make meaning influences how we approach and select philanthropic causes, how we form ideas about potential solutions, and how we engage with our fellow human beings as we, together, pursue solutions. This, as you can imagine, has important ramifications for the future of our world. The problems at hand—problems such as social injustice, the destruction of the environment, and poverty—are all problems which call for increasingly complex approaches, the sort of approaches which may be better understood through the lens of developmental theory.
In my next research project, I am conducting field research in partnership with a large nonprofit and their board. Together, our goal is to understand how this approach might inform fundraising practices by testing specific strategies and, in doing so, challenging our underlying assumptions about philanthropy. The findings from this research will be used to develop curriculum for training nonprofit practitioners, as well as be disseminated in articles and journals to inform the sector.
Thank you for accompanying us in this exciting journey.
