Zing Foundation
The Zing Foundation has a dual mission: (1) to promote out-of-the-box philanthropy and (2) to promote the field of art and social change. We currently run two initiatives: Bolder Giving in Extraordinary Times and the Arts Rising Funding Circle. We are a small educational nonprofit -- not a grant-making organization -- based in Arlington, Mass.
Description:
The Zing Foundation aims to spark heart felt, strategic, and substantial giving through programs that:
- Inspire the active use of millions of new dollars for social change;
- Engage thousands of donors to explore their true giving potential;
- Provide out-of-the-box public models of how much it is feasible to give;
- Give new hope and inspiration to non-wealthy people working for social change;
- Help the donor education and donor organizing fields to grow more effective and coordinated.
Promoting Arts for Social Change The Zing Foundation aims to act as a catalyst, organizer, and promoter for the field as a whole (much as we did for the field of donor organizing in the 1990s). Our programs promoting Arts for Social Change aim to:
- Bring millions of new dollars and dozens of new long-term funders to the field of social healing arts;
- Strengthen the infrastructure that supports the field, bringing it visibility, encouragement, and financial support;
- Launch new partnerships between international healing arts networks and international social justice or environmental networks — partnerships that demonstrate the power and practicality of using arts to address social change goals.
Please note that Zing Foundation is not a grantmaking organization.
