It highlights both the limitations and opportunities of digital interaction, from weakened relational depth to increased accessibility and efficiency. The publication emphasises the need for a mindset shift—from place-based, synchronous engagement to more flexible, hybrid approaches—while maintaining the relational core of community philanthropy.
