From Ideas to Impact: A Playbook for Influencing and Implementing Change in a Divided World

Accelerate your real-world, social impact by advocating for systemic policy changes

In From Ideas to Impact: A Playbook for Influencing and Implementing Change in a Divided World, Michael Sheldrick, author and co-Founder of Global Citizen, an international philanthropic organization dedicated to the eradication of extreme poverty around the world, delivers an inspiring and insightful discussion of how to multiply your social impact by harnessing the power of policy change and policymaking.

In the book, you'll explore the key characteristics that make up successful "policy entrepreneurs" as they engage with the three critical constituencies that determine the success of every philanthropic endeavor: the people you want to help, the people at home, and the rich and powerful. You'll also find:

• Discussions of the most pressing challenges facing philanthropists today, including an obsession with short-term results and "getting the credit," as well as political polarization in the United States
• Examples drawn from the author's extensive experience in international aid that highlight the principles covered in the book
• Concrete strategies for seizing one-of-a-kind philanthropic opportunities

An essential resource for professionals working at foundations and non-governmental organizations, legislators, entrepreneurs, founders, business leaders, and non-profit board members and managers, From Ideas to Impact: A Playbook for Influencing and Implementing Change in a Divided World is a must-read for anyone seeking to maximize the amount of positive change they can make in the world around them.
