Mark Kramer writes about a new kind of philanthropy he calls catalytic, where donors don't just write checks. You might call it problem-solving philanthropy --
The donors stopped thinking about which organizations to support, and started to think about how to solve a specific problem, using every skill, connection, and resource they possessed. The donors formulated clear and practical goals that enabled them to identify the steps needed to succeed. Above all, the donors took responsibility for finding solutions to the problem instead of waiting for the nonprofit sector to approach them with a proposal.
