Austerity in another time: work and philanthropy in the International Union f...Giving Centre
Professor Jenny Harrow's presentation to Voluntary Action History Society :Fifth International Conference, University of Huddersfield 10-12 July 2013
The activities of the International Union for Child Welfare from 1946-1948 is examined in the context of social conditions in Europe. Themes include models of relief, relations with national governments, and fundraising practices; and considers intra-country and cross country flows of aid. Conclusions are drawn concerning IUCW’s emphasis on its NGO (not ‘voluntary’) status, its lack of expectation that governments will (or should) be always leading provision, thinking and expertise in children’s welfare, and the extent to which inter-organisational networking and joint philanthropic working for children’s interests were blurring the boundaries of what constituted the IUCW from its very beginning.
Cunningham History of Western Philanthropy occasional paper Nov 13Giving Centre
Professor Hugh Cunningham‘s important new addition to CGAPs series of occasional papers offers discussion and reflection on the strata or layers of philanthropic action, which have accumulated on top of each other within Western philanthropy. Emphasising that philanthropy history is not simply a history of giving, nor a history of giving by the rich, the paper suggests nine successive strata , which, cumulatively, shape the present. Taken together, they draw attention to the ways in which philanthropy is as much circular and repetitive as progressive and linear; that is, that “earlier strata keep re-surfacing.”
