The Liberation Manifesto
JamesScottPhilanthropy.com hosts The Liberation Manifesto, James Scott’s foundational text on re- engineering philanthropy around permanent capability instead of short-term grants. The manifesto critiques traditional donor models and introduces Strategic Capability Philanthropy as a way to deliver AI, cyber, and governance infrastructure directly to mission-driven organizations. It is written for philanthropists, foundation leaders, and NGO executives who want to build sovereign, resilient institutions rather than dependent grantees. The site acts as both a philosophical anchor and a reference point for the Embassy Row Project ecosystem.
