ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Katherine Fulton - New philanthropist

Why you should listen

Billions of dollars are spent on philanthropy each year, but the way they are spent is changing rapidly. Katherine Fulton's team at Monitor Group has been tracking these changes, and she has become an eloquent advocate for the “New Philanthropy,” surprising audiences with her insights on an underreported phenomenon of momentous significance.

As president of Monitor Institute, she works with today's most imaginative, entrepreneurial leaders (not just in philanthropy, but also in business and government) to pioneer breakthrough next practices in how complex social problems are framed, confronted, funded and ultimately solved.

As a result of her efforts, she has been awarded both a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University and a Lyndhurst Foundation prize for community service. Her innovative course design at Duke University was featured in Time magazine and her work on the future of journalism in Columbia Journalism Review. She is also co-author of several books, among them Investing for Social and Environmental Impact: A Blueprint for Catalyzing an Emerging Industry, Looking Out for the Future: An Orientation for Twenty-First Century Philanthropists and What If? The Art of Scenario Thinking for Nonprofits.

4000
我希望幫助各位重新認識慈善事業,
00:22
what it could be,
1
4000
2000
看到它的可能性,
00:24

2
6000
2000
以及它跟你的關係。
00:26
And in doing that, I want to offer提供 you a vision視力,
3
8000
3000
為了要這樣做,我要向你展示一個遠景,
00:29
an imagined想像 future未來, if you will,
4
11000
3000
一個想像中的未來樣貌,
00:32
of how, as the poet詩人 Seamus西莫 Heaney希尼 has put it,
5
14000
4000
就如詩人 Seamus Heaney 所說,
00:36
"Once一旦 in a lifetime一生
6
18000
2000
「人的一生中總有一次,
00:38
the longed-for渴望 tidal潮汐 wave of justice正義 can rise上升 up,
7
20000
4000
一直盼望的正義之潮會升起,
00:42
and hope希望 and history歷史 rhyme."
8
24000
4000
而希望正和歷史合奏著。」
00:46
I want to start開始 with these word pairs here.
9
28000
4000
我想從這幾對字詞開始。
00:50
We all know which哪一個 side of these we'd星期三 like to be on.
10
32000
4000
我們都知道我們想身於哪一方。
00:54
When philanthropy慈善事業 was reinvented改造 a century世紀 ago,
11
36000
3000
一個世紀前,當慈善事業進行重整,
00:57
when the foundation基礎 form形成 was actually其實 invented發明,
12
39000
3000
開始出現基金會的形式時,
01:00
they didn't think of themselves他們自己 on the wrong錯誤 side of these either.
13
42000
4000
他們也沒有想到自己會屬於錯的這一方。
01:04
In fact事實 they would never have thought of themselves他們自己
14
46000
2000
他們從沒想到自己會是
01:06
as closed關閉 and set in their ways方法,
15
48000
3000
封閉、故步自封,
01:09
as slow to respond響應 to new challenges挑戰,
16
51000
2000
對新挑戰反應緩慢,
01:11
as small and risk-averse規避風險.
17
53000
2000
渺小而且經不起風險。
01:13
And in fact事實 they weren't. They were reinventing重塑 charity慈善機構 in those times,
18
55000
3000
而事實上他們也不是。他們改革當時的慈善事業,
01:16
what Rockefeller洛克菲勒 called "the business商業 of benevolence."
19
58000
3000
洛克費羅稱為「慈善生意」。
01:19
But by the end結束 of the 20th century世紀,
20
61000
2000
但到了二十世紀末,
01:21
a new generation of critics批評者 and reformers改革者
21
63000
3000
新一代的評論家和改革者
01:24
had come to see philanthropy慈善事業 just this way.
22
66000
4000
指出了慈善事業的這些缺失。

26
77000
2000
強烈的企圖,

02:12
And as I do that, I'm not going to dwell much
42
114000
3000
但我不會講太多
02:15
on the very large philanthropy慈善事業 that everybody每個人 already已經 knows知道 about --
43
117000
4000
那些家傳戶曉的大型慈善事業,
02:19
the Gates蓋茨 or the Soros索羅斯 or the Google谷歌.
44
121000
3000
如蓋茨、索羅斯、Google等等。
02:22
Instead代替, what I want to do
45
124000
3000
相反的,我想講的是
02:25
is talk about the philanthropy慈善事業 of all of us:
46
127000
4000
屬於我們所有人的慈善事業,
02:29
the democratization民主化 of philanthropy慈善事業.
47
131000
2000
慈善事業的民主化。
02:31
This is a moment時刻 in history歷史 when the average平均 person

2000
在今天,一個普通人所擁有的力量,
02:33
has more power功率 than at any time.
49
135000
3000
是歷史上前所未有的強大。
02:36
What I'm going to do is look at five categories類別 of experiments實驗,
50
138000
3000
現在來看看五種類型的實驗,
02:39
each of which哪一個 challenges挑戰 an old assumption假設 of philanthropy慈善事業.
51
141000
5000
每一種都挑戰一項對慈善事業的既有認定。
02:44
The first is mass collaboration合作, represented代表 here by Wikipedia維基百科.
52
146000
4000
第一種是群體協作,代表者有維基百科(Wikipedia)。
02:48
Now, this may可能 surprise you.
53
150000
2000
這可能會令你如夢初醒,
02:50
But remember記得, philanthropy慈善事業 is about giving of time and talent天賦, not just money.
54
152000
5000
但記著,慈善不止於金錢上的捐獻,也可以奉獻時間和才能。
02:55

58
165000
2000
他說:「我們所在的世界,
03:05

59
167000
2000
是只能為愛做小事、
03:07
and big things for money.
60
169000
2000
為錢做大事的世界。
03:09
Now we have Wikipedia維基百科.
61
171000
2000
而現在我們有了維基百科(Wikipedia)。
03:11
Suddenly突然 big things can be doneDONE for love."
62
173000
4000
突然之間,也可以為愛做成大事。」
03:15

發展最快的行動。
03:39
humanity's人類的 collective集體 immune免疫的 response響應

03:42
to today's今天的 threats威脅.
74
204000
2000
集體免疫反應。
03:44
Now, all of these big things for love -- experiments實驗 --
75
206000
4000
但是,這些為愛做大事的實驗
03:48
aren't going to take off.
76
210000
2000
並不是每一個都能成功。
03:50
But the ones那些 that do

2000
這些賣場對於慈善事業,
04:03
what eBay易趣 and Amazon亞馬遜 are to commerce商業.

04:07
Think of it as peer-to-peer點對點 philanthropy慈善事業.
83
229000
3000
將它想像成一對一的慈善事業。
04:10
And this challenges挑戰 yet然而 another另一個 assumption假設,
84
232000
3000
它挑戰另一項認定,
04:13
which哪一個 is that organized有組織的 philanthropy慈善事業 is only for the very wealthy富裕.
85

第三種類型以巴菲特為代表,
04:42

不只是因為他的慷慨捐獻而偉大,
04:49
It's that he challenged挑戰 another另一個 assumption假設,
99
271000
2000
而是他打破了另一項認定,
04:51
that every一切 giver贈與者 should have his or her own擁有
100
273000
2000
證明並不是每一個捐獻者都必須
04:53
fund基金 or foundation基礎.
101
275000
2000
成立自己的基金或基金會。
04:55
There are now, today今天, so many許多 new funds資金
102
277000
4000
現在有很多新的慈善基金
04:59
that are aggregating聚集 giving and investing投資,
103
281000
2000
是採用集資捐獻及投資,
05:01
bringing使 together一起 people
104
283000
3000
把人們集合起來,
05:04
around a common共同 goal目標, to think bigger.
105
286000
2000
為共同的目標提供更大規模的捐獻。
05:06
One of the best最好 known已知 is Acumen敏銳 Fund基金, led by Jacqueline杰奎琳 Novogratz諾沃格拉茨,
106
288000
4000
當中最廣為人知的是 Acumen Fund, 由 Jacqueline Novogratz 帶領,
05:10
a TEDsterTEDster who got a big boost促進 here at TEDTED.
107
292000
2000
她是一位 TED 會員,從 TED 這裡得到大力幫助。
05:12
But there are many許多 others其他: New Profit利潤 in Cambridge劍橋,
108
294000
3000
但當然不止於此。在劍橋的 New Profit,
05:15
New School's學校的 Venture冒險 Fund基金 in Silicon Valley,
109
297000
3000
矽谷的 New School's Venture Fund,
05:18
Venture冒險 Philanthropy慈善事業 Partners夥伴 in Washington華盛頓,
110
300000
3000
華府的 Venture Philanthropy Partners
05:21
Global全球 Fund基金 for Women婦女 in San Francisco弗朗西斯科.
111
303000
2000
及三藩市的 Global Fund For Women.
05:23
Take a look at these.
112
305000
2000
觀察這些例子,
05:25
These funds資金 are to philanthropy慈善事業
113
307000
3000
這些基金與慈善事業的關係,
05:28
what venture冒險 capital首都, private私人的 equity公平, and eventually終於 mutual相互 funds資金
114
310000
5000
和風險投資、私人資本、共同基金等,
05:33
are to investing投資,
115
315000
2000
與投資項目之間的關係類似。
05:35
but with a twist --
116
317000
2000
但當然不完全一樣,
05:37
because often經常 a community社區 forms形式 around these funds資金,
117
319000
5000
因為通常一個社群將會伴隨這些基金形成,
05:42
as it has at Acumen敏銳 and other places地方.
118
324000
3000
就如 Acumen 及其他基金的例子。
05:45
Now, imagine想像 for a second第二
119
327000
3000
現在,想像一下
05:48
these first three types類型 of experiments實驗:
120
330000
3000
前面三種類型的實驗:
05:51
mass collaboration合作, online線上 marketplaces交易市場, aggregated匯總 giving.
121
333000
3000
群體協作、網上賣場、集資捐獻。
05:54
And understand理解 how they help us re-perceive重新感知
122
336000
3000
了解它們如何幫助我們重新認識
05:57
what organized有組織的 philanthropy慈善事業 is.
123
339000
2000
有組織的慈善事業。
05:59
It's not about foundations基金會 necessarily一定; it's about the rest休息 of us.
124
341000
3000
不一定屬於基金會,而是屬於我們所有人的。
06:02
And imagine想像 the mash-up混搭, if you will, of these things, in the future未來,
125
344000
5000
再想像一下,當這些混搭元素
06:07
when these things come together一起 in the experiments實驗 of the future未來 --
126
349000
2000
未來相互結合,進行更多實驗 -
06:09
imagine想像 that somebody puts看跌期權 up, say,
127
351000
3000
例如有人提出目標,
06:12
100 million百萬 dollars美元
128
354000
2000
價值一億美元的
06:14
for an inspiring鼓舞人心 goal目標 --
129
356000
2000
群體捐獻目標 -
06:16
there were 21 gifts禮品 of 100 million百萬 dollars美元 or more in the US last year,
130
358000
3000
去年在美國有21筆捐獻的單筆金額超過一億美元,
06:19
not out of the question --
131
361000
3000
這並不是不可能的 -
06:22
but only puts看跌期權 it up if it's matched匹配
132
364000
3000
但達到這個目標的方法
06:25
by millions百萬 of small gifts禮品 from around the globe地球,
133
367000
3000
是募集全球數百萬筆的小型捐獻。
06:28
thereby從而 engaging lots of people,
134
370000
2000
所以它能使許多人參與在其中,
06:30
and building建造 visibility能見度 and engaging people
135
372000
2000
建立其公信力,吸引人群參與,
06:32
in the goal目標 that's stated聲明.
136
374000
3000
以達成所設立的目標。
06:35
I'm going to look quickly很快 at the fourth第四 and fifth第五 categories類別,
137
377000
2000
我會很快地說明第四及第五種類型,
06:37
which哪一個 are innovation革新, competitions比賽 and social社會 investing投資.
138
379000

加快解決議題的腳步。
06:51
This tackles鏟球 yet然而 another另一個 assumption假設,
142

這挑戰了另一項認定,
06:54
that the giver贈與者 and the organization組織 is at the center中央,
143
396000
2000
就是以捐贈者及組織為中心,
06:56
as opposed反對 to putting the problem問題 at the center中央.
144

3000
而不是以問題為主。

That leaves樹葉 the final最後 category類別, social社會 investing投資,
148
410000
4000
最後一種類型,社會投資,
07:12
which哪一個 is really, anyway無論如何, the biggest最大 of them all,
149
414000
2000
從任何方面來說,這都是在五種類型當中最大的一個。
07:14
represented代表 here by XigiXigi.net.
150
416000
3000
以 Xigi.net 為代表。
07:17
And this, of course課程, tackles鏟球 the biggest最大 assumption假設 of all,
151
419000
4000
當然,這是要挑戰最大的認定,
07:21
that business商業 is business商業,
152
423000
2000
就是在商言商,
07:23
and philanthropy慈善事業 is the vehicle車輛 of people who want to create創建 change更改 in the world世界.
153
425000
4000
而慈善是由一班想改變世界的人所推動。
07:27
XigiXigi is a new community社區 site現場
154
429000
2000
Xigi 是一個新的社群網站,
07:29
that's built內置 by the community社區,
155
431000
2000
由社群所創立,
07:31
linking鏈接 and mapping製圖 this new social社會 capital首都 market市場.
156
433000
4000
把這最新的社會資本市場連結起來。
07:35
It lists名單 already已經 1,000 entities實體
157
437000

它列出一千個為社會企業

07:41
So we can look to these innovators創新
159
443000
3000
所以這群革新者
07:44
to help us remember記得
160
446000
4000
提醒了我們,
07:48
that if we can leverage槓桿作用 even a small amount of the capital首都
161
450000
3000
即使運用很少的資金
07:51
that seeks尋求 a return返回,
162
453000
2000
去追求報酬,
07:53
the good that can be driven驅動 could be astonishing驚人.
163
455000
5000
所能推動的善行也很驚人。
07:58
Now, what's really interesting有趣 here
164
460000
2000
而最有趣的是,
08:00
is that we're not thinking思維 our way
165
462000
4000
我們不是透過思想
08:04
into a new way of acting演戲;
166
466000
2000
去啟發新一種行為。
08:06
we're acting演戲 our way into a new way of thinking思維.
167
468000
3000
我們正以行動啟動新一波的思維。
08:09
Philanthropy慈善事業 is reorganizing改組 itself本身
168
471000
3000
慈善事業正在我們眼前
08:12
before our very eyes眼睛.
169
474000
2000
徹底重整。
08:14
And even though雖然 all of the experiments實驗 and all of the big givers度外
170
476000
4000
就算這些實驗和所有的大慈善家
08:18
don't yet然而 fulfill履行 this aspiration心願,
171
480000
3000
還沒有實現這個企圖,
08:21
I think this is the new zeitgeist時代精神:
172
483000
2000
我想這就是新的時代精神:
08:23
open打開, big, fast快速, connected連接的,
173
485000
3000
開放、強大、快捷、相互連結。
08:26
and, let us also hope希望, long.
174
488000
2000
而且希望可以長久持續。
08:28
We have got to realize實現 that it is going to take a long time to do these things.
175
490000
4000
我們必須明白,這些事不是一朝一夕可以完成的。
08:32
If we don't develop發展 the stamina耐力 to stick with things --
176
494000
3000
如果我們沒有毅力去堅持 -
08:35
whatever隨你 it is you pick, stick with it --
177
497000
3000
無論你選擇了什麼,堅持著 -
08:38
all of this stuff東東 is just going to be, you know, a fad時尚.
178
500000
4000
所有東西都只會淪為一時的風潮。
08:42
But I'm really hopeful有希望.
179
504000
2000
但我是滿懷希望的。
08:44
And I'm hopeful有希望 because it's not only philanthropy慈善事業
180
506000
2000
而我充滿希望是因為
08:46
that's reorganizing改組 itself本身,
181
508000
2000
不止是慈善事業在進行重整。
08:48
it's also whole整個 other portions of the social社會 sector扇形,
182
510000
3000
而是其他所有的社會組織
08:51
and of business商業,
183
513000
3000
以及商業組織,
08:54
that are busy challenging具有挑戰性的 "business商業 as usual通常."
184
516000
3000
都在挑戰過去習以為常的做法。
08:57
And everywhere到處 I go, including包含 here at TEDTED,
185
519000
3000
我所到的每一個地方,包括在 TED 這裡,
09:00
I feel that there is a new moral道德 hunger飢餓
186
522000
4000
我也感受到對道德的一股新的渴望,
09:04
that is growing生長.
187
526000
2000
正在不斷成長。
09:06
What we're seeing眼看 is people really wrestling摔角
188
528000
2000
我們看到人們絞盡腦汁
09:08
to describe描述 what is this new thing that's happening事件.
189
530000
3000
要描述正在發生的這件事情。
09:11
Words like "philanthrocapitalismphilanthrocapitalism,"
190
533000
2000
出現了如「慈善資本主義」、
09:13
and "natural自然 capitalism資本主義," and "philanthroentrepreneurphilanthroentrepreneur,"
191
535000
2000
「自然資本主義」、「慈善企業家」
09:15
and "venture冒險 philanthropy慈善事業."
192
537000
2000
以及「慈善風險投資」等各種名稱。
09:17
We don't have a language語言 for it yet然而.
193
539000
2000
我們暫時沒有專門的用語。
09:19
Whatever隨你 we call it,
194
541000
2000
但無論我們怎樣稱呼它,
09:21
it's new, it's beginning開始,
195
543000
2000
這是新的,這是起步,
09:23
and I think it's gong to quite相當 significant重大.
196
545000
4000
而且我想它會是很重要的。
09:27
And that's where my imagined想像 future未來 comes in,
197
549000
2000
這與我所想像的未來有關,
09:29
which哪一個 I am going to call the social社會 singularity奇點.
198
551000
4000
我將把它稱為 "社會奇異點" 。
09:33
Many許多 of you will realize實現 that I'm ripping翻錄 a bit off of the science科學 fiction小說 writer作家
199
555000
3000
你們當中有些人知道我借用了科幻小說家
09:36
Vernor弗農· Vinge's維格的 notion概念 of a technological技術性 singularity奇點,
200
558000
3000
Vernor Vinge "科技奇異點" 的概念,
09:39
where a number of trends趨勢 accelerate加速 and converge匯集
201
561000
2000
當幾個不同的趨勢加速並聚合的時候,
09:41
and come together一起 to create創建, really, a shockingly令人吃驚 new reality現實.
202
563000
4000
將共同創造一個令人震撼的新世界。
09:45
It may可能 be that the social社會 singularity奇點
203
567000
3000
我們將面臨的社會奇異點,
09:48
ahead is the one that we fear恐懼 the most:
204
570000
4000
正是我們最害怕的。
09:52
a convergence收斂 of catastrophes災難,
205
574000
2000
當不同的災難一同發生,
09:54
of environmental環境的 degradation降解,
206
576000
2000
如環境破壞、
09:56
of weapons武器 of mass destruction毀壞, of pandemics流行病,
207
578000
2000
大規模毀滅性武器、流行疫症,
09:58
of poverty貧窮.
208
580000
2000
以及貧窮。
10:00
That's because
209
582000
2000
這是因為
10:02
our ability能力 to confront面對 the problems問題 that we face面對
210
584000
4000
我們解決所遭遇問題的能力,
10:06
has not kept不停 pace步伐 with our ability能力 to create創建 them.
211
588000
3000
遠比我們製造問題的能力慢。
10:09
And as we've我們已經 heard聽說 here,
212
591000
2000
就如我們剛才所聽到的,
10:11
it is no exaggeration誇張 to say
213
593000
2000
要說我們對人類文明的未來
10:13
that we hold保持 the future未來 of our civilization文明 in our hands
214
595000
3000
有著前所未有的掌握能力,
10:16
as never before.
215
598000
3000
其實一點也不誇張。
10:19
The question is, is there a positive social社會 singularity奇點?
216
601000
3000
問題是,有沒有正面的社會奇異點?
10:22
Is there a frontier邊境 for us
217
604000
2000
有沒有一個先例可以啟示我們
10:24
of how we live生活 together一起?
218
606000
3000
要如何共同生活?
10:27
Our future未來 doesn't have to be imagined想像.
219
609000
2000
我們的未來不需要只憑空想像。
10:29
We can create創建 a future未來 where hope希望 and history歷史 rhyme.
220
611000
5000
我們可以創造一個未來,讓今日的希望成為明日的歷史。
10:34
But we have a problem問題.
221
616000
2000
但我們有一個問題。
10:36
Our experience經驗 to date日期, both individually個別地 and collectively,
222
618000
4000
到今天為止,我們的經驗,無論是個人或集體的,
10:40
hasn't有沒有 prepared準備 us for what we're going to need to do,
223
622000
3000
都不足以預備我們面對未來將要做的,
10:43
or who we're going to need to be.
224
625000
3000
或是我們將要成為的未來。
10:46
We are going to need
225
628000
2000
我們會需要
10:48
a new generation of citizen公民 leaders領導者
226

新一代的公民領袖,
10:53
willing願意 to commit承諾 ourselves我們自己 to growing生長 and changing改變 and learning學習

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Katherine Fulton - New philanthropist
President of Monitor Institute, Katherine Fulton is also a strategist, author, teacher and speaker working for social change.

Why you should listen

Billions of dollars are spent on philanthropy each year, but the way they are spent is changing rapidly. Katherine Fulton's team at Monitor Group has been tracking these changes, and she has become an eloquent advocate for the “New Philanthropy,” surprising audiences with her insights on an underreported phenomenon of momentous significance.

As president of Monitor Institute, she works with today's most imaginative, entrepreneurial leaders (not just in philanthropy, but also in business and government) to pioneer breakthrough next practices in how complex social problems are framed, confronted, funded and ultimately solved.

As a result of her efforts, she has been awarded both a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University and a Lyndhurst Foundation prize for community service. Her innovative course design at Duke University was featured in Time magazine and her work on the future of journalism in Columbia Journalism Review. She is also co-author of several books, among them Investing for Social and Environmental Impact: A Blueprint for Catalyzing an Emerging Industry, Looking Out for the Future: An Orientation for Twenty-First Century Philanthropists and What If? The Art of Scenario Thinking for Nonprofits.
