Culture of Philanthropy: Leading Across the Organization

Through the Healthcare lens

This module was practically written for hospital foundations: the worry that donors exploit the people being served is, here, a real concern about patients, and the standard of voluntary participation, patient review of the final story, and program authority to stop it at any point is the consent architecture a grateful-patient program needs regardless of what this module calls it. Because that consent has to run inside HIPAA rather than around it, reporting back to a clinician what their flagged story actually produced matters even more as the trust that keeps them willing to flag anything at all, and only a CEO or chief medical officer can make philanthropy part of clinical staff's actual expectations.
