Have you heard of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, or the six degrees of separation, theory? This theory posits that everyone on Earth is connected to any other person through no more than six social connections. This theory is not just a fun party game—it offers profound insights into the interconnectedness of people. In health care philanthropy, relationships often span across networks in ways that are not immediately visible. The key is tapping into these networks to uncover connections leading to major gifts. Read more from Accordant's Sarah Burdi, CFRE, in her latest piece on unlocking transformational gifts: https://ow.ly/rMQw50UrIwI #healthcare #philanthropy #connections #majorgifts
