RSVP Here
Join a select group of entrepreneurial leaders for a half-day of rigorous conversation, imaginative ideas, and connecting with thoughtful peers. Part of a larger initiative to see more redemptive ventures that address the major issues of our time, this Forum will discuss Praxis’ Redemptive Framework and its application to philanthropic giving. We’ll hear innovative approaches to philanthropy in Austin and beyond centered on the two pillars of Redemptive Strategy: Mission & Portfolio.
REDEMPTIVE STRATEGY // MISSION SUMMARY:
We define a clear mission to guide our giving, focusing our attention where “[our] deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” Through learning, discernment, and design, we create a set of theses to help us direct our resources to the most strategic activities and opportunities. Instead of responding to emotional appeals or trusting in our own wisdom, we pray for our work to be the servant of a prophetic imagination, recognizing that God’s plan for the world far exceeds our own vision.
REDEMPTIVE STRATEGY // PORTFOLIO SUMMARY:
We design a philanthropic portfolio to achieve the enduring outcomes of our mission. We choose partners and make gifts along a spectrum of risk and across multiple theses, avoiding the temptation to deploy capital only toward prominent ventures.
