This paper explores the nature of philanthropic intervention in the infrastructure for service and policy development. It offers a comprehensive review of the literature associated with a style of philanthropy that, characterized as ‘strategic’ in orientation, is accompanied by a set of goals for creating impact and adopts a public policy focus. Such approaches are grounded in the unique roles adopted by private foundations in society; alongside their nebulous place as stakeholders in the systems and services occupied by private and public agencies. Firstly, the authors undertake a comprehensive literature review in order to discern what elements of strategic philanthropy have resonance for funders operating with a public policy systems change orientation. From the findings they develop a framework for understanding strategic engagement in public systems that identifies areas of intervention where foundations have the greatest capacity for effectiveness based on their role identification in policy engagement, social innovation or convening. Understanding these three key points of intervention can be used in management and practice to inform the pathways for the adoption of goals among different stakeholders operating with diverse values, purposes and constraints.

战略慈善对公共系统的投资：干预框架

本文探讨了慈善干预服务和政策制定基础设施的性质。它对与慈善风格相关的文献进行了全面回顾，该风格以“战略性”为导向，伴随着一系列创造影响的目标，并采用公共政策重点。这种方法的基础是私人基金会在社会中所扮演的独特角色；以及他们作为私人和公共机构所使用的系统和服务中的利益相关者的模糊地位。首先，作者进行了全面的文献回顾，以辨别战略慈善的哪些要素对以公共政策系统改变方向运作的资助者产生共鸣。根据调查结果，他们开发了一个框架来理解公共系统中的战略参与，该框架根据基金会在政策参与、社会创新或召集中的角色识别，确定了基金会在哪些领域具有最大的有效性。了解这三个干预的关键点可用于管理和实践，为在不同价值观、目的和约束条件下运作的不同利益相关者之间采用目标提供信息。
