Welcome to comm-UNITY!- Season 7 Trailer (The role and Importance of leadership in community giving or philanthropy)

Season 7 Podcast  Topic: The role and Importance of leadership in community giving or philanthropy. Welcome to season 7 (Seven) of the CivSource Africa comm-UNITY! Podcast. In this season, we will host conversations with different Leaders who have been part of the Mopane Leaders’ Experience Retreats, a program under the management of CivSource Africa. Mopane program is a leadership curriculum focused on wellness and wellbeing of leaders and their organizations. Because we strongly believe that if a leader is not well, the organization or the place they serve cannot be well. The focus on leaders then becomes very critical because everything rises and falls on leadership. Community leaders in particular, should be aware of the value of philanthropy and its role in promoting the common good. As stewards of community assets, leaders should also be familiar with actions they can take to nurture an environment that encourages philanthropic giving and the development of philanthropic resources. For the next three months, we will host the alumni of this program to discuss the role and importance of leadership in community philanthropy or giving. The purpose will not only be to understand giving practices in communities, but to also highlight steps community leaders can take to encourage giving in their communities as we build philanthropic assets that can permit communities to help themselves. I therefore invite you to join our conversations every Thursday on the CivSource Africa website, and CivSource Africa YouTube channel, or on anchor, as we discuss the role and importance of leadership in community giving. You are all welcome.
