Summary: Open Door Philanthropy Season Sh3 Episode 9 features Alex Amouyel of SOLVE. Unfunded List snuck our microphones into the Nexus Summit at the US Institute of Peace this March. Nexus is a network of philanthropists and entrepreneurs from all over the world - Alex and Dave first met years ago at a previous Nexus gathering. Unfunded List’s Open Door Philanthropy Podcast gathers philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers of all stripes. Season Sh3 highlights women in our sector and explores the unique experiences of being woman-identified in philanthropy. Hosted by Dave Moss, Unfunded List’s founder who started Unfunded List in 2015 to help make sure that the next generation of changemakers get the feedback and recognition they need to be successful. Our mission is to demystify and open the door to private philanthropy for the general public while providing a platform for our guests to discuss their work. Unfunded List reviews funding proposals twice annually from small and mid-size nonprofits and social impact startups. The 200+ philanthropy experts on our evaluation committee give helpful and candid feedback about each grant proposal’s weaknesses & strengths. Then we publish the best proposals to our list that we circulate to a rolodex of foundations and philanthropists in the hopes that we can find some funding and partnerships for these amazing unfunded proposals. We are always looking for evaluators willing to volunteer time to give feedback to unfunded changemakers! Unfunded List is currently accepting proposals for our Fall 2019 evaluation round until August 15, 2019. We invite your org to join the 100+ projects our funding evaluators have given feedback to since 2015.

We will make an effort to make episode transcripts available on our website.
