Dedicated to your impact
Our Mission and Vision
Coppice Philanthropy works with philanthropists to measurably improve the impact of their giving. Through doing so, we endeavor to create a world where the philanthropic sector works effectively alongside the private and public sectors to create a better, more just world for all beings.
Our Values
Impactful
Good philanthropy should value impact above all else, and strive to fund nonprofits who operate similarly.
Evidence-driven
The discerning philanthropist seeks out the leading research in the field before determining the best solution to a given problem.
Cause Neutral
We recommend causes that follow the evidence towards greatest impact, not necessarily those that sound the sexiest.
Scope Sensitive
Good philanthropy acknowledges that saving ten lives really is ten times better than saving one.
Measurable
True impact can and should be measured, even between seemingly disparate causes and organizations.
Global
Oftentimes, the most impactful interventions will not be those that benefit our next-door neighbors.
Our Theory of Change
When you activate more philanthropists to realize how much good they can do,
Connect them with high quality research and projects
The world improves as more effective organizations get more funding.
What is a coppice anyway?
A “coppice” is a traditional European land management tool where the forester cuts back a tree in order to stimulate new growth out of the still living base of the tree. It is sustainable, efficient, and still practiced today.
Coppice Philanthropy seeks to do the same with the philanthropic sector—stimulate the shoots of new growth, building off of the successes and lessons learned through philanthropy’s long history. We hope you’ll join us in doing so.
