Rooting philanthropy in well-being

When we talk about philanthropy, we usually focus on the tangible: what's being funded, where the money goes, and what results it delivers. But behind every outcome is a relationship—between funders and grantees, between organisations and the people they serve. So what would it take to centre well-being, not just as a perk or an afterthought but as a guiding principle of how philanthropy works? Mahendra Pandey of Humanity United and Steven Harris of Fetzer Institute discuss on this week's episode of O n the Contrary by IDR .
