The document discusses strategies for promoting philanthropy internationally based on experiences in different countries. It outlines four main drivers that have influenced the development of philanthropy: changes in government and civil society roles; shifts in development aid priorities; initiatives by international foundations; and engagement of local actors. Challenges to growing philanthropy include legal/financial barriers, cultural attitudes, limited individual participation, and lack of nonprofit capacity/infrastructure. Effective strategies target specific audiences, employ multiple approaches, and recognize local diversity.
Development Cooperation Forum Philanthropy Issues note+421 Foundation
Private philanthropic organizations have become in a very short period of time a key source of development finance. They complement flows from other providers and play a vital role in meeting needs in critical sectors, such as health and education. There is need to better understand the role they can play in international development cooperation and their impact on development results. The MDG Summit in 2010 recognized that and called on foundations to enhance their role in supporting national development efforts and the achievement of the MDGs.
President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council Ambassador Milos Koterec of Slovakia opened on Monday 27th February 2012 the first Dialogue of Development Cooperation Forum (DCF) with private philanthropic organizations. The Development Cooperation Forum, established by the 2005 World Summit in response to the changes in development cooperation as well as to the growing role taken by non-traditional actors, has an important role in spurring global discussions among foundations and United Nations Member States. The meeting focused on issues of comparative advantages and good practices of philantropic organizations and on promoting partnerships to achieve better development results. It enjoyed participation of important stakeholder like President of Ford Foundation Luis Ubinas, Executive Director of Trust Africa Akwasi Aidoo, Founder of Education for Employment network Ron Bruder, Vice President for Strategic Philantropy Foundation Center Lisa Philip, Bakery Kone of the African Capacity Building Foundation, Managing Director of Rockefeller Foundation Rob Garris and many others, as well as representatives of member states.
Global Philanthropy Report. Perspectives on the global foundation sectorDominique Gross
Report: Perspectives on the global foundation sector
seeks to develop a knowledge base to address the size,
scope, and practice of institutional philanthropy across
the globe. This inaugural report represents a first step
in an attempt to understand worldwide philanthropic
practices and trends; provide comparative analysis across
countries and regions; begin to develop a picture of the
magnitude of global philanthropic investment; and help
create an evidence-based discussion on global philanthropy.
We hope to publish the report biennially, adding additional
countries and reporting increasingly comprehensive
data within countries in future editions. Importantly, national
collaborators are publishing more in-depth reports
on philanthropy in their individual countries.
The document discusses community development and partnerships. It introduces key concepts like stakeholders and approaches to community development. It outlines the speaker's background working on community projects. The main stakeholders in development are identified as: US government agencies, international organizations, foundations, NGOs, host country NGOs, and local community members. Effective partnerships require understanding community interests and bringing stakeholders to a common agenda to solve locally-defined problems.
As a result of the frustration of not being let join the top table of the Bretton Woods institutions, the BRICS grouping and its members have gone about setting up their own new IFIs in recent years, as an implicit challenge to the hegemony and financial control of traditional Western powers. While they have often used the language of South-‐South solidarity, and of transforming global dynamics to more genuinely address and include the needs and wants of the majority of the world living in the Global South, but many still see the BRICS financial projects as reflecting not a desire for radical economic transformation, but a wish to establish themselves as new hegemonic global powers, and assert the same control of international economic dynamics that Western powers previously had.
The Centre for Financial Accountability aims to strengthen and improve financial accountability within India by engaging in critical analysis, monitoring and critique of the role of financial institutions – national and international, and their impact on development, human rights and the environment, amongst other areas.

Foreign funding to NGOs in Nicaragua has undermined their accountability to grassroots organizations and limited their ability to catalyze social change. Due to short-term funding cycles tied to donor priorities, NGOs are more accountable to foreign donors than the communities they are meant to serve. This has contributed to a façade of civil society dominated by urban NGO elites rather than empowered grassroots organizations. As a result, NGOs have had minimal policy impact and have demobilized, rather than empowered, the people. Long-term funding structures that strengthen accountability to local constituencies may help NGOs better support grassroots organizations and social movements.
This document discusses collective giving traditions and modern philanthropy practices in Vietnam. It begins with an overview of Vietnam's long tradition of collective giving from kings establishing local funds to modern mutual aid organizations. The legal framework for philanthropy is then examined, noting unclear regulations around fundraising, grants, and tax incentives. Key players in collective giving are identified including government groups, nonprofits, students, professionals, elites, and diaspora. An example of a community fund is provided, highlighting its community decision-making process and projects supported. Challenges and opportunities for the future of philanthropy in Vietnam are also presented, such as capacity building for nonprofits and engaging the diaspora. The role of women
Community-based tourism ventures face challenges in marketing their rural tourism products similar to other rural producers. They depend on intermediaries like private companies, membership organizations, public institutions, and non-profits to facilitate market access. Each type of intermediary has strengths and weaknesses in terms of their marketing support capabilities. Instead of individual support strategies, combined approaches are needed depending on location, resources, and existing organizational structures.
This document summarizes a study comparing the charitable landscapes of two contrasting neighborhoods in southeast England - an affluent village and a deprived housing estate. The village had many more registered charities per person that were more sustainable over time. Most charities in the estate were larger organizations funded by government to meet basic needs. Residents of the village had more skills and engagement in informal charitable activities. The study found differences rather than inequalities between the areas and questions their capacity to participate equally in reducing public services.

The document proposes establishing a charitable foundation in Ukraine to help underserved groups. It outlines two potential focuses for the foundation: 1) Providing educational support to talented children with disabilities or life-threatening illnesses. 2) Creating an informational program to educate the public on preventing diseases like cerebral palsy in children. Background research on existing charities in Ukraine is presented to help define the new foundation's goals and activities. Fundraising strategies, target audiences, and next steps are also discussed to establish and promote the charitable organization.
This paper examines the institutional and political constraints that
inhibit multilateral and bilateral donor agencies supporting poverty reduction
initiatives on the ground. These include the constraints related to their own structures
and the political systems in which they are embedded, and those related to
their relationships with recipient governments. The paper also considers how
current trends in development assistance towards greater donor harmonization
and the associated processes within Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs), the
shift from project support to budget support, and the drive for greater “efficiency”
may further limit donors’ capacity to support pro-poor local initiatives. It also
discusses how these trends in development assistance are marginalizing support
for those aspects of development that require relatively little external funding but
also require that this funding be used carefully and strategically, engaging directly
with poor groups and their organizations, and enlarging their scope for influence
and action.
2014_Philanthropy and Hurricane Sandy_Steven LawrenceSteven Lawrence
Institutional philanthropies provided over $380 million in response to Hurricane Sandy, including $328.4 million in cash commitments from 593 foundations, corporations, and other donors. Corporate giving accounted for the largest share at $136.4 million, while public foundations contributed $131.1 million. Funding focused heavily on human services (44%) and housing (11%). New York and New Jersey received nearly half the funding, while the American Red Cross received 23% of support overall.
This document summarizes trends in charitable giving to international causes from 1987 to 2012. It finds that giving to international affairs grew 552% in inflation-adjusted dollars during this period, far exceeding the 82% growth in inflation-adjusted giving to all other causes combined. There were several factors contributing to this growth, including increased awareness of international issues and more organizations working on international causes. The summary provides an overview of trends in donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations to the international affairs sector.
This document discusses strategies for global collaboration in the 21st century. It provides two examples of collaboration at the grassroots level and two examples of collaboration at the global level. The first grassroots example is the Global Giving Foundation, which links donors to small social projects around the world. The second is Ushahidi, a nonprofit that maps reports of violence and has since expanded to track other crises globally. At the global level, it discusses the Japan Platform model of cooperation between NGOs, businesses and government for emergency relief. It also mentions the potential for an Asia Platform to replicate this model of tripartite collaboration.
This document discusses the concept of immigrant transnationalism, which refers to immigrants regularly engaging in economic, political, and socio-cultural activities that span national borders as part of their daily lives. Advances in transportation and communication have enabled more durable and frequent participation by immigrants in their home countries. The document examines drivers of transnationalism like globalization and how contexts of exit and integration shape transnational activities. It finds that transnationalism takes many forms like business investments, remittances, and cultural exchanges. Transnationalism challenges theories that assume immigrants fully integrate into host societies and severs ties with home countries.
From Needs To Assets Charting A Sustainable Path Towards Development In Sub S...Cormac Russell
This document discusses alternative approaches to development in Sub-Saharan Africa, arguing that an asset-based community development (ABCD) approach combined with participatory rural appraisal (PRA), sustainable livelihoods approaches (SLA), and rights-based approaches can help address socio-economic challenges more effectively than traditional needs-based approaches. It outlines how ABCD identifies and builds on community assets rather than just focusing on needs, empowering communities to drive their own development. When combined with PRA, SLA, and rights-based approaches, ABCD can generate sustainable, citizen-led solutions superior to those resulting from outside interventions or needs assessments alone.
The document is a report on the 2014 World Giving Index, which analyzes charitable giving behaviors around the world. Some key findings:
- The United States and Myanmar share the top spot in the Index, with the US scoring highest across all three behaviors and Myanmar driven by high donations related to Buddhist traditions.
- Giving behaviors are impacted by events like natural disasters, as seen by Malaysia's rise in rankings after helping neighbors affected by a typhoon.
- Helping strangers continues to be the behavior growing most worldwide, especially in developing countries, highlighting personal interactions in philanthropy.
- Youth unemployment may be impacting declines in donating money globally, though women donate more than men
The document summarizes the history and changing perceptions of Australian aid over recent decades. It describes how aid was not a priority under the Howard government in the late 1990s-2000s and had low funding levels. Aid rose in importance in the mid-2000s due to campaigns and the 2004 tsunami, but cuts have reduced funding levels since 2012 despite earlier bipartisan commitments. The document argues future aid communication should focus on intrinsic values like fairness rather than extrinsic values to build long-term support and understanding of aid's role in supporting people's potential.
This document summarizes a lecture on theories of transnationalism, mobility, and development. It discusses current models linking migration and development, including the "vicious circle" and "virtuous circle" approaches. It proposes a new theoretical approach based on the political economy of development. This approach incorporates international migration into development studies and considers processes of under/over-development as drivers of migration. The document also reviews examples of transnational migrant networks like Ghanacoop and the work of Michael Clemens, who argues true globalization of labor mobility holds solutions for international development.
Transnationalism refers to connections and exchanges across national borders through economic, political, social, and cultural ties. It involves individuals and groups maintaining relationships with friends, family, institutions, and communities in both their country of origin and destination. Factors like globalization, improved transportation, and communication technologies have made it easier for migrants and other groups to develop and sustain transnational networks and identities. Transnational communities are formed through cross-border interactions and shared interests rather than attachment to a single territory, though migrant communities are often the most significant examples.
Knightian Uncertainty and Nash Equlibrium in Veterans Non-ProfitsMichael Zacchea
This document discusses the economic impact of non-profits. It covers several topics: the sources and motivations of charitable donations to non-profits; how game theory concepts like non-profit rivalry and seed money impact fundraising; the role of risk and uncertainty for donors and non-profits; and strategies non-profits can use like forming networks and pursuing social entrepreneurship. The funding environment for non-profits is complex with competitive challenges, but tools like seed money, united fundraising campaigns, financial transparency, and philanthropic investments can help non-profits navigate risk and accomplish their missions.
This summary describes the work of the Asian Coalition for Community Action (ACCA), which supports community-driven slum upgrading in over 165 cities across 19 Asian nations. ACCA provides small grants for community organizations to fund local improvement projects, which helps build partnerships with local governments and establishes city-wide development funds controlled by community groups. This illustrates an alternative financing system where urban poor communities have decision-making power over funding and aims to demonstrate that slum upgrading can occur at large scale through community-led initiatives.
The document discusses Armenia's economy and key development challenges. It notes that Armenia experienced strong growth following the global financial crisis, but the economy remained dependent on non-tradable sectors. Poverty decreased but inequality increased. The World Bank intends to support job creation through improving the business environment, agriculture, infrastructure, and macroeconomic stability. Priority reform areas include health, education, social protection, disaster risk management, and anti-corruption.
The document summarizes the key findings of the 2021 CAF World Giving Index report, which analyzes global trends in generosity and giving behavior. Some of the main findings include:
- Indonesia ranked as the most generous country in the world with a score of 69, up from its 2018 ranking. More than 80% of Indonesians donated money and volunteering rates were over 3 times the global average.
- Many traditionally top-ranked countries like the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, and Netherlands saw significant score decreases and fell out of the top 10. Newer top 10 countries included Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, and Kosovo.
- Countries like Australia and New Zealand also experienced score declines, as giving opportunities decreased
Collective giving allows groups of individuals to pool their money and make grant decisions together. The Washington Women's Foundation was founded in 1993 with the goals of educating women in philanthropy, pooling resources to create a new funding source, developing an innovative grant model, and making large impact grants. Members contribute annually, participate in grant decision making, and have collectively granted over $13 million to nonprofit organizations in the community. Collective giving models like the WWF can be adapted globally to increase local philanthropic impact.
This document discusses maximizing the potential contributions of the Kenyan diaspora through political participation, wealth creation, employment, and poverty reduction. It recommends passing legislation to create a more enabling environment for the Kenyan diaspora to engage in these areas. Specifically, it recommends allowing dual citizenship, the right to vote, and diaspora representation in parliament. It also discusses improving consular services and sourcing qualified Kenyans abroad for appointments in Kenyan embassies and government. The overall goal is to better facilitate the Kenyan diaspora's involvement in the social, economic, and political development of Kenya.

It aims to assist the Russian NGO sector through research, knowledge sharing of international best practices, and projects focused on fundraising, transparency, and evaluation. Key activities include publishing a digest of philanthropic literature, supporting academic research on philanthropy in Russia, and sponsoring contests and training to improve nonprofit management, accountability, and impact measurement. The organization is ultimately beneficially owned by Mr. Tsvetkov and maintains close ties to his financial corporation Uralsib.
Philanthropy Community Foundations and Strategic Community InvestmentGemma Slack
This document discusses philanthropy, community foundations, and strategic community investment. It defines philanthropy and differentiates it from charity, noting that philanthropy seeks to address root causes while charity focuses on alleviating suffering. It outlines the history and development of community foundations globally, including the first foundations in the US, UK, Canada, Europe, and New Zealand. It discusses how community foundations build permanent endowment funds through donations and strategic community investment tools to understand community needs and direct resources for meaningful change.
Seminar notes from Centre for Charity Effectiveness Festival of Social Science event in partnership with Philanthropy: the City Story. Includes a section by Professor Cathy Pharoah. November 2013
- Philanthropy provides long-term strategic investment in social change and supporting organizations that make fundamental changes for the common good, unlike charity which provides only short-term relief.
- Philanthropy is important for taking risks and supporting new ideas, initiatives, and discoveries that governments and businesses won't, in order to push boundaries and create social justice.
- As philanthrocapitalism grows, it's important to ensure philanthropy continues focusing on strengthening civil society rather than mirroring market values.

Some challenges to measuring and promoting volunteerism in the country are presented. Sources of information on Filipino volunteerism are provided from different studies and agencies.
Private Philanthropy: An Overview On Giving in The U.S. and WorldwideAndrew Tulchin
Private philanthropic giving from individuals, corporations and foundations contri-butes a significant proportion to value flows related to development aid and other social change efforts. Private sector actors are important sources of funding to NGOs and multilateral organizations – either working for causes in their home societies or seeking to improve the lives of poorer groups in developing countries. In many cases, they provide occasional donations, and also establish long-term partnerships with non-profits, foundations, and government stakeholders.
This white paper provides an overview on giving practices in the private sector. By summarizing existing literature and drawing on secondary data, it explores the variety of private philanthropy across regions and by donor type. Additionally, it outlines emerging new waves and concerns for private philanthropy.

Article7
Beware Big Donors
Megafoundations used to be quiet giants. Now they're noisy activists, shaping policy and politics.
In a January speech at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, laying out his policy for higher education, President Obama opened by noting his agenda: "How can we make sure that everybody is getting the kind of education they need to personally succeed but also to build up this nation--because in this economy, there is no greater predictor of individual success than a good education." Although the United States still has "the best network of colleges and universities in the world," he said, "the challenge is it's getting tougher and tougher to afford it." Thus his primary policy concerns were high tuition and student debt.
At Ann Arbor, President Obama captured the spirit of the megafoundation program for higher education. Should we be worried about that confluence?
First, consider how the foundation world has changed. Also in January, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Bill Gates announced that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was contributing $750-million to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. That's a big number. For purposes of comparison, on the same day Japan announced that it would contribute $340-million to the Global Fund, less than half the Gates gift. As of the end of 2010 (the last year for which figures are publicly available), the total assets of the Gates foundation were $37.4-billion, and that does not include the approximately $30-billion Warren Buffett pledged in 2006 to give the foundation. The next largest American philanthropic foundation in terms of net assets is the Ford Foundation (for decades our largest), which at the end of September 2011, had net assets of $10.3-billion.
While, at least for the moment, unique in size, Gates is also representative of an explosion in the net worth and annual-giving potential of the private-philanthropic sector in the United States. According to the Foundation Center, as of March 8, 2012, there were 65 private and community foundations in the United States with net assets of more than $1-billion, 11 private foundations with assets of more than $5-billion, and 30 with assets of more than $2-billion. Total foundation giving in the United States (circa 2010) was about $20.5-billion.
According to a recent Chronicle study, America's top 50 donors gave a total of $10.4-billion in 2011, rebounding from the $3.3-billion of the previous year, with its recession worries. Those numbers reflect the continued growth in the number of private philanthropic foundations in this country--10,093 were created in the 1990s, and more than 8,500 appeared between 2000 and 2009 (as opposed, for instance, to the 1,264 created in the 1970s). There are now more than 33,000 foundations in the United States.
But what grabs my attention is the number with megaresources, almost all of which have emerged over the past two decades. This is truly the er.
This document discusses funding challenges faced by women's organizations. It summarizes recent research finding that while some local women's organizations have received increased funding for areas like reducing violence against women and HIV/AIDS, the majority are struggling to secure funds and sustain core activities. Only a small percentage reported increased funding since 2000. Additionally, most women's organizations are small with annual budgets under $50,000, and over half are receiving less funding than in 2000 while facing greater difficulties fundraising. The document aims to provide innovative funding ideas to strengthen the roles of women's organizations in development.
Global Philanthropists and European Development CooperationDr Lendy Spires
This document summarizes characteristics of global philanthropists and their engagement in development efforts. It finds that while philanthropic giving represents a small portion of overall development funding, it is growing and distributed globally with a focus on health, education, agriculture and disaster relief. The largest philanthropic contributions come from US-based foundations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, but European philanthropic engagement is also increasing. The document recommends that European development actors strengthen engagement with philanthropists by promoting transparency in reporting, facilitating knowledge sharing between public and private actors, and improving coordination among European donors to maximize complementarity with philanthropic efforts.
This document discusses trends in global philanthropy. It defines global philanthropy as private actions for the public good that address issues across borders. International giving by US foundations has grown substantially over 30 years but declined during the recession. Top recipients are European NGOs, Africa, and Asia Pacific working in health, education, and economic development. US foundations support overseas work through grants to US and local organizations. While global philanthropy faces legal and cultural challenges, it is growing through diaspora and emerging market giving and cross-sector collaboration on strategic, capacity-building initiatives. Major players include large private foundations, corporate foundations, and associations supporting global non-profits.
Philanthropy and international development_ Lessons to learn_ _ Generosity Ma...Christian Gergis
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from international development regarding philanthropy in Australia. It notes that some charities, especially large ones, are better than others at attracting funding from donors and government. Coordinating giving across donors could help ensure funding goes to underfunded causes and areas. The document advocates for a more centralized and collaborative approach to philanthropy in Australia, suggesting donors voluntarily report giving to facilitate coordination and identify partnership opportunities.
The Rockefeller Foundation launched the Cultural Innovation Fund (CIF) in 2007. Since then, it has supported six rounds of annual grantmaking, resulting in 99 grants to 86 nonprofit cultural and community organizations in New York City. Grants across the six years 2007–2012 totaled $16.3 million.
An Evaluation Team headed by Helicon Collaborative assessed the Cultural Innovation Fund for the period December 2012 to May 2013 based on Terms of Reference issued by the Foundation in September 2012.
The document summarizes a research poster presentation on the Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon campaign. It discusses how the campaign emerged from a public-private partnership in 2011 to promote breast and cervical cancer awareness in Africa and Latin America. However, the campaign is representative of modern philanthropic campaigns that fail to address underlying inequality issues and contribute to structures that produce inequality. The summary analyzes how the campaign depicts issues in developing countries and how it has been influenced by shifts toward marketing-based philanthropy and corporate social responsibility in conceptualizations of aid.
The document discusses the evolution of philanthropy among ultra-high net worth individuals. It provides an overview of traditional forms of philanthropy like major giving and private foundations. However, it notes that philanthropy is increasingly defined more broadly to include venture philanthropy, impact investing, microfinance, and job creation which aim to promote sustainable solutions and address root causes of problems. The Wealth-X and Arton Capital Major Giving Index is mentioned as having risen 120% over the last decade, indicating increased philanthropic activity among the ultra-wealthy.
Hudson Institute - 2015 Index of Philanthropic FreedomCatalyst Balkans
The document summarizes the Index of Philanthropic Freedom 2015 published by the Center for Global Prosperity at Hudson Institute. It measures and ranks 64 countries based on their legal/regulatory environment for philanthropy through indicators on nonprofit registration/operations, tax policies, and cross-border financial flows. The Index aims to identify best practices and policies to improve philanthropic freedom and strengthen civil society worldwide. It represents the first systematic effort to quantify and compare countries' environments for giving by individuals and organizations.
This document summarizes a report on research about the future of the charity sector in Ireland over the next 20 years. It conducted interviews and surveys with various stakeholders to understand their perspectives. Key findings included a desire for change in how charities operate, the need to demonstrate impact through data, issues with regulation and funding, challenges finding qualified people, and improving public understanding and transparency. The research aims to provoke debate on expectations of charities, the role of volunteers, impacts of regulation, needs for professionalism and organizational change, the role of the state, and triggers for change within charities.
This document is the annual report of the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation for 2012. It provides an overview of the Foundation's grants and activities that year across its three program areas: promoting international arts engagement, protecting reproductive rights, and improving the performance of public institutions in New York. A total of $4.78 million was appropriated to 53 grantees. The report describes the goals and strategies within each program area, and provides details on several specific grants made to organizations such as Art21, Bang on a Can, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
Volunteerism is a powerful force for development and capacity building globally. Millions of people volunteer every day across many sectors such as health, construction, social services, and more. The common factor among volunteers is a commitment to the public good and working for the benefit of others rather than just themselves. Volunteerism has untapped potential and can help achieve development goals through grassroots participation and empowerment. Some motivations for volunteering include spiritual fulfillment, learning new skills, gaining life experiences, and improving mental well-being. The story of volunteerism in the Philippines highlights successful conversion of former military bases into economic zones through local volunteer efforts.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Indira awas yojana housing scheme renamed as PMAYnarinav14
Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) played a significant role in addressing rural housing needs in India. It emerged as a comprehensive program for affordable housing solutions in rural areas, predating the government’s broader focus on mass housing initiatives.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

4. Исторический обзор. США.
The earliest and most continuous promotion efforts have occurred in the United
States. It has been suggested that there have to date been four important
“waves” of promotion activity in the United States, waves that began in the
1970s.
1. The first wave focused primarily on improving the legal and regulatory
environment for philanthropy;
2. the second employed a broad-based public awareness campaign aimed at
substantially expanding the portion of the population active in philanthropy and
volunteering;
3. a third was characterized by a concerted effort to grow the number, reach,
and size of community foundations;
4. and a fourth wave sought to promote philanthropy around the enormous
anticipated “intergenerational transfer of wealth."
5. Исторический обзор. США
In the 1990s, several U.S. foundations became increasingly interested
in promotion and expanded their efforts to develop local philanthropy
around the globe.
At the risk of some over-generalization, these initiatives employed three
principal strategies:
the establishment of community foundations,
the development of philanthropic infrastructure,
and the creation of endowments in grantmaking and other civil society
organizations.
At the beginning of the 21st century, efforts to promote philanthropy are
viewed by many as central to the sustainability of global civil
society.
6. Основные инициативы и
акторы в мире
While many programs still target the philanthropic potential of the very wealthy, others such as “reciprocal
giving” and “remittances” build on giving practices of the relatively poor.
Other initiatives such as
Partners for Change (India),
Philippine Business for Social Progress (Philippines),
Ethos Institute (Brazil)
focus on the enormous philanthropic potential of the corporate sector.
The value of building on local traditions is central to the programs of Allavida and others.
The need for better local knowledge is evidenced in research initiatives such as those of
the University of Natal
the Asia Pacific Philanthropy Consortium.
The importance of recognizing and providing for a variety of donor interests and motivations is at the core
of programs such as
Synergos’ Global Philanthropists Circle
the Institute for the Development of Social Investment (IDIS) in Brazil
the Centro Mexicano para la Filantropia (CEMEFI) in Mexico.
7. Philanthropic Drivers
fundamental sector shifts,
significant shifts in official development aid,
the changing priorities of international
philanthropic foundations,
and the concerns and commitment of
indigenous actors.
As well as the increase in global wealth
8. 1. Changing Roles: the State, Market and Civil Society
The collapse of Communism, political reforms, and fiscal crises have all contributed to vast changes in the
roles, responsibilities, and power of the various sectors.
One of the most significant sector shifts has been the state's backing away from providing basic public
services in some countries and regions.
Large NGOs are increasingly providing education, health, and social services through contracts with national
governments and aid agencies. The majority of NGOs, however, provide a range of local services, relying
almost entirely on philanthropic and volunteer contributions. These shifts have also led to significant growth
in the size of civil society.
2. Donor Priorities: The Role of Official Development Aid
Official development aid (ODA) provided through bilateral and multilateral agencies has had considerable
impact on the development of the global civil society and influenced the growth of local philanthropy in both
intended and unintended ways.
Through the 1990s, both multilateral and bilateral donors actively encouraged the development of civil society
concepts, organizations and infrastructure. In Africa, Asia, and Latin America, NGO “empowerment” was
seen as a route to sustainability, resulting in a boom in support.
In Eastern Europe, NGOs were seen as an important part of a “transition” to democratic governance, and aid
(particularly from the U.S.) helped to build and strengthen the sector. Substantial ODA investments in all of
these regions helped to build a large, often important, but “resource-scarce” non-profit sector, creating a
“demand”” for local philanthropic development.
Unfortunately, these early efforts to build civil society were not accompanied by concomitant efforts to build and
strengthen local funding. Only in the early 1990s was serious attention paid to developing the local
resources necessary to sustain the wave of new nonprofit organizations.
Philanthropic Drivers
9. Donor Priorities: The Role of Official Development Aid (Continued)
During these early investments, the “Western handprint” of civil society aid may have unintentionally
inhibited the growth of local philanthropy in some countries.
The Western approach, often reflecting a Toquevillian vision of civil society – i.e., the value of
associations per se – in many instances created an urban-based elite of NGO “generalists,” some
direct service providers, and a preponderance of think tanks and “human rights-watch” bodies that
reflected funders’ interests.
Such priorities, while often admirable, were not always congruent with local interests, likely limiting the
“supply” of local funding resources.
The beginning of the 21st century has already seen several major shifts in the priorities and processes
of civil society aid, with important implications for local philanthropy.
In Africa and Asia, aid funding for the work of small and medium-sized NGOs has been seriously
reduced as donors shift toward larger, longer-term funding agreements with a smaller number of
major NGOs.
At the same time, many donors have shifted even further away from service provision and towards
global campaigning, advocacy and policy work.
Philanthropic Drivers
10. Philanthropic Drivers
3. The Influence of International Foundations
The number of foundations active in this area has been fairly limited, with some notable exceptions
almost all of them are headquartered in the United States, and their strategies have often been
quite similar. Thus it is probably fair to say that while the impact of their collective support has
been powerful, it has also been somewhat narrow.
These imaginative and progressive funders have pursued a multi-dimensional philanthropic agenda,
three of which are especially notable.
1. First, there has been extensive and consistent investment in the development of community
foundations.
2. Second, there has been significant support for the development of a philanthropic
infrastructure, including peer networks and support organizations such as the Worldwide
Initiative for Grantmaker Support (WINGS), the European Foundation Center (EFC), and the
South African Grantmakers Association (SAGA).
3. Third, and in part as an exit strategy in certain countries and regions, there has been significant
investment in the establishment of endowed grantmaking foundations, such as the
Carpathian Foundation and Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe.
A more recent feature of foundation giving is the introduction of clear normative ends. In the last
several years, the major international foundations engaged in promotion activities have begun to
focus on efforts to build social justice philanthropy, and/or have begun to emphasize strategic
philanthropy.
In other words, the emphasis has shifted from encouraging a culture
of philanthropy per se to promoting philanthropy that
advances social change.
11. Philanthropic Drivers
3. The Influence of International Foundations (продолжение)
С точки зрения количественных показателей все эти
инициативы были довольно впечатляющие.
- 420 ФМС в 40 странах в дополнение к 700 в США
- Широкая сеть глобальных, национальных, региональных
ассоциаций, сетей и прочей инфраструктуры
- Значительные средства были вложены в эндаументы в
европейских странах
- В странах восточной и западной Африки эндаументы были
созданы в ФМС для стимулирования местной
благотворительности
Пока трудно сказать, насколько это способствовало развитию
местной филантропии, так как не проводилось адекватной
оценки.
Считается даже, что акцент на создание эндаументов
препятствует развитию локальной филантропии
Хотя безусловно все эти инициативы способствовали
развитию филантропии во многих странах.
12. 4. The Engagement of Indigenous Actors and Agendas
More importantly, a new generation of practitioners, activists, and researchers are beginning to explore
the rich and varied history of their nation’s own culture of giving. It is likely that this new
generation ultimately will have a more profound impact on the development and promotion of
philanthropy than the preceding international investments.
In the effort to promote more indigenous philanthropy, a number of actors are exploring cultural
models of giving and solidarity. For example,
1. A project at the University of Capetown is exploring how “giving” is defined in four southern
2. African countries.
3. The Asia Pacific Philanthropy Consortium (APPC) is researching the philanthropic traditions
and
4. practices of high net worth individuals (HNWIs) in six Asian countries.
5. A team of Mexican and U.S. researchers coordinated by the Global Equity Initiative at
Harvard
6. University is analyzing philanthropic practices in Mexico, including the rapidly growing area of
7. collective remittances.
8. The Ford Foundation has sponsored research on social justice philanthropy among the
Muslim
9. populations in six countries.
Increasingly, the community foundation concept is being modified to reflect, support, and
strengthen local, traditional giving practices.
Philanthropic Drivers
13. Challenges
At the risk of oversimplification, philanthropy promotion efforts generally
address four broad and pervasive challenges to the growth of
philanthropy:
(1) legal and financial restrictions on philanthropy and civil society,
(2) cultural attitudes and values that do not fully accept and support the
role of civil society and philanthropy,
(3) limited individual engagement in philanthropy, and
(4) insufficient civil society capacity and infrastructure.
14. The Legal and Financial
Environment
There is limited evidence supporting or agreement about
the correlation between a favorable legal and tax
environment and an increased volume of philanthropic
giving.
There is, however, general consensus that in countries with
particularly limiting and restrictive legal and tax
structures, systematic efforts to improve the legal
environment will help to encourage more philanthropy.
Most will also agree that a demonstrated willingness on
the part of governments to enter into discussions about
creating a more sympathetic legal and regulatory
environment signals an acceptance of the importance of
philanthropy and civil society in the country.
15. Cultural Attitudes and
Values
Yet among the most oft-cited barriers to philanthropy’s growth is the general public’s
attitude toward civil society generally.
In some regions and countries there is only a limited acceptance of the expanding role of
civil society, accompanied by related, ongoing debates about the legitimate scope of
public action.
In countries where the government has long been the provider of basic services there is
typically a strong feeling that this responsibility should remain the state’s – despite
enormous cutbacks in such services.
Although relevant studies are limited, in many other countries there appears to be a
pervasive lack of trust and confidence in nonprofit organizations generally.
Such suspicions are fuelled by the lack of transparency in nonprofit operations, as well as
a lack of understanding and information regarding the roles and contributions of
individual organizations and the sector as a whole. No doubt some of these negative
perceptions are correct; the challenge for civil society is to establish policies,
practices, and mechanisms that will challenge such perceptions and build and
strengthen donor confidence.
16. Individual Donor Engagement
There is little perceived need for individual participation in civil society.
This may be a reflection of the two points above – a general
perception that government bears the responsibility for social
development and the provision of public services, and a general
distrust of NGOs. Together, such opinions can severely limit the
growth and practice of organized philanthropy.
Giving is strongly influenced by historical, cultural, and religious trends.
While most societies are home to long-established practices of
charity and mutual aid, such practices take many forms – traditional
philanthropic attitudes, practices, and organizational approaches
vary widely.
At the same time, the act of giving is intensely personal. Personal and
family values, motivations, interests, and approaches are often
unique to the individual.
In the attempt to promote greater giving cultural context is overlooked
and individual philosophies and practices are neither recognized nor
supported. In many countries the organizational mechanisms through
which individuals can explore and practice philanthropy remain
limited.
17. Capacity and InfrastructureA significant impediment to philanthropic growth in many countries is a lack of
institutional capacity and professional standards, both in the NGO and
philanthropic sectors.
Maybe most importantly, many organizations lack policies and processes that
create the transparency and accountability required to build trust and attract
donors.
In many countries such organizational challenges are aggravated by similar
weaknesses in the supporting institutional infrastructure. The rapid development
of civil society infrastructure such as NGO associations and networks has not, in
most cases, been accompanied by sustained investment. As a result, umbrella
groups struggle to raise funds to sustain basic operation, rather than developing
broader support services.

18. Key AudiencesEfforts to promote philanthropy have often targeted high net worth individuals.
To be sure, many philanthropic trailblazers have been enormously wealthy,
and the wealthiest members of a community continue to offer important
potential to increase philanthropic capital within society. But philanthropy has
also always existed among those of more modest means and the “power” of
many smaller gifts is increasingly recognized.
Consequently, many recent organized experiments to promote philanthropy are
focused on the philanthropic potential of the population generally.
In addition, an increasing number of efforts are targeting and tailoring programs
for specific populations.
Audience segmentation can have a major effect on the number of donors
mobilized and, ultimately, on the philanthropic resources generated. Such
audiences include:
Women
The Corporate Sector
Youth and Young Professionals
The Wealthy
The Less Wealthy
Diaspora Groups.
19. Strategies To Promote
Philanthropy
The intention is to raise awareness of the range of promotion efforts currently employed
around the globe, particularly those that may offer potential for more widespread
adaptation and replication elsewhere.
The underlying assumption is that philanthropy promotion is most likely to produce results
when it
(1) is promoted through a range of approaches,
(2) recognizes the unique character of a local community and the wide diversity of
potential donors within it, and
(3) creatively employs multiple strategies to cultivate philanthropy within diverse
populations.
Where possible, the authors have sought to identify and discuss the results of specific
approaches and efforts. However, one of the limitations of such research is the
absence of systematic evaluation. In addition, it is often difficult to isolate the impact
of a specific promotion effort from other influences. Moreover, many projects are
ongoing and incomplete, so the real lessons have yet to be fully learned.
20. Legal Reform
1. The regulatory environment
(Насколько легко зарегистрировать НКО и в дальнейшем получать филантропические и иные
ресурсы)
2. Tax incentives for giving
Effective strategies to promote philanthropy through more favorable tax incentives include increasing
the amount of deductions and tax credits available to donors, and increasing the number and
kinds of nonprofits able to receive contributions eligible for tax incentives.
Success in enacting and implementing such strategies will require healthy collaboration among
government, commercial, and nonprofit sectors.
A noteworthy example can be found in Australia where, in 1999, encouraged by a coalition of
foundation trustees, the government introduced a range of new tax incentives that appear to
have had a positive effect on giving. Early research suggested that the total amount donated
and claimed as deductions by individual Australian taxpayers increased by 11% thereafter
Another tax-based approach to promoting philanthropy -- “percentage laws” -- appears to be gaining
popularity, particularly in Eastern and Central Europe.
Percentage laws are a legal mechanism that allows taxpayers to allocate a certain percentage of their
income tax to qualifying NGOs. Hungary’s groundbreaking “1% law,” adopted in 1996, began a
chain reaction in the region
21. In 2003, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation funded a new initiative, The Percentage
Philanthropy Project, to study, support and promote the strategy.
Tax-based promotion policies are not always appropriate for a particular country or
culture, or easy to create and/or administer. Many countries are debating legitimate
roles for their philanthropic and nonprofit sectors and understandably wish to create
thoughtful policies and structures.
In addition, many are trying to guard against the misuse of fiscal incentives. Furthermore,
the fiscal challenges faced by many countries make it politically difficult and
sometimes imprudent to reduce tax revenue. Indeed, there are concerted efforts by
national governments and multilateral financial institutions to limit fiscal incentives that
could decrease tax revenue.
Legal Reform
22. Accountability and
Transparency in the NGO
Sector
Governments can promote transparency among NGOs and private philanthropy by requiring
annual activity reports and audited financial statements and through the enactment of laws
to prohibit individual economic benefit from charity malfeasance. For example, a recent law
in Brazil requires NGOs to follow procedures to guarantee public information and
transparency. Such laws could serve as a model for other countries.
In the nonprofit sector umbrella and membership organizations can develop mechanisms
and standards that will have broad acceptance within the NGO community, government,
and the public. There have been recent successes in this arena, an example of which is
the NGO Code of Standards and Conduct can be found in Ethiopia; such codes may have
applicability elsewhere.
Among NGOs themselves individual organizations can develop and institute practices to
advance their own transparency and act as a role model for others by, e.g., voluntarily
publishing annual reports that provide programmatic and financial information. It is
important to note, however, that in some instances public reporting of activities can be
potentially dangerous and/or make an organization vulnerable to additional scrutiny or
sanctions.
23. Public Awareness Campaigns
Significant programs targeting greater giving have been undertaken in Mexico, and in the
relatively homogeneous societies of Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United
States. A relatively new program has been initiated in the Czech Republic.
In the United Kingdom, the Giving Campaign (2001-2004) sought to encourage a broad
culture of giving and to increase the number of donors and the amount given in the
UK. The campaign targeted specific audiences, including the wealthy and their
advisors, employees and employers, and young people. Multiple media channels
promoted the use of a new package of tax incentives for charitable giving. While the
campaign did not meet all of its targets, it showed impressive gains; notably, payroll
giving increased from 55 million pounds in 2001 to 86 million in 2004.
In the Czech Republic in 1998 the Civil Society Development Foundation launched the
Help the Children campaign in cooperation with Czech Television. This initiative differs
from other campaigns in that in addition to its general call for increased philanthropy it
also encourages social investment aimed at a specific cause: disadvantaged children.
The campaign includes education on the problems facing children and on the activities
of NGOs working with disadvantaged youth. A major campaign culminates with a
prime-time television show directly soliciting charitable gifts to the cause. Viewers can
make donations to a special bank account and NGOs can apply to the fund for
operational and project support. The campaign was based on a similar BBC Children
in Need campaign and developed with assistance from the BBC. According to a 2002
annual report, the campaign has raised CZK33 million and distributed 276 grants in its
first four years.
24. Donor Leadership
Encourage donors to be open and transparent in their giving
the well-publicized giving of entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates and George Soros has
helped spawn a new generation of young donors in the United States. It is also said
that Ted Turner’s creation of the UN Foundation directly influenced Bill Gates.
Engage prominent, respected donors as speakers, conveners, and public
advocates.
Engage a subset of these leaders to contribute to the development of other
philanthropic promotion strategies and activities.
Publicize the philanthropy of donor leaders.
25. Donor Education
“Donor education” -- or, perhaps better, “donor learning” -- describes a wide
range of efforts intended to help donors learn to give, and/or to give more
strategically. Such efforts are often designed both to engage and to educate
donors -- that is, to promote more philanthropy, while at the same time
making that philanthropy more effective. Depending on the program, donor
learning initiatives can offer structured educational content, opportunity for
peer engagement, and a venue to explore philanthropy in a safe, neutral
space, free from solicitation and institutional “agendas.”
For example, in Brazil, IDIS has created a truly ambitious program to promote
national philanthropy that includes creating and delivering educational
programs and materials to diverse audiences, particularly families and
advisors. In the past two years, IDIS has provided four workshops on family
philanthropy that attracted almost 200 family members and 22 advisors. The
response has been extremely positive, with participation growing with each
workshop and with a third of the participants attending more than one
workshop. IDIS has also published several papers on family philanthropy
and social investing that have been distributed to over 500 members of
donor families.
26. General Observations about
Donor Learning
In addition, there is a strong trend towards combining and connecting philanthropic
education and giving programs. Excellent examples of such a dual mission include
Social Venture Partners (see section on Peer Philanthropy) and the Silicon Valley
Social Fund. Such initiatives often include peer engagement, education, and pooled
giving, and can be particularly powerful in promoting philanthropy.
Format.
In addition, there are a few comprehensive training workshops such as that offered by the
Rockefeller Foundation’s Philanthropy Workshop, and the newly established
Rockefeller/Bertelsmann education initiative in Europe. A recent approach seeks to
educate donors through first-hand empirical experience, e.g., site visits and meetings
with nonprofit leaders. Examples include the Tides Foundation taking donors to the World
Social Forum, Grantmakers without Borders taking donors to Haiti, and several trips
organized by Synergos for members of the Global Philanthropists Circle.
Funding. How to pay for donor education is a question that in many instances has yet to be
fully answered.
27. Professional Advisors
Fairly recently – and predominantly in the United States and Western Europe --
organizations working to promote philanthropy have sought to engage advisors
in their mission. Such efforts have included the development of education and
training programs for advisors, the design of tools and materials to assist
donors/clients, and opportunities for advisors to engage directly with individuals
and institutions in the philanthropic sector.
In addition, over the last eight years in the U.S. there has been considerable
research aimed at exploring advisor behavior and its effect on donors and their
philanthropy.

29. Philanthropic Infrastructure
Developing philanthropic infrastructure is an important promotion strategy, particularly
popular among international foundations.
With a few notable exceptions such as the Council on Foundation in the United States,
much of the world’s philanthropic infrastructure has been established since 1990. But
several factors provided the momentum to create a strong NGO and philanthropic
infrastructure during the last decade; they include
(1) the massive emergence and expansion in the size and prominence of civil society in
post-communist Central and Eastern Europe and post-Apartheid South Africa,
(2) the concurrent growth of the non-profit sector in other countries, e.g., the United
States where the number of non-profits doubled in the 20 years following 1980, and
(3) the growth in the number of charitable trusts and foundations, triggered by the fairly
sudden and dramatic emergence of new wealth.
30. Associations of donors and
grantmakers
Associations
The most significant investment in philanthropic infrastructure globally has arguably been
the creation of associations of grantmakers and donors.
Such membership organizations seek to support giving through the promotion of best
practices and the development of members’ knowledge and giving skills. In addition,
most associations share the additional mission of promoting philanthropy generally,
e.g., through outreach to potential philanthropists and advocating, where needed, for
an enabling legal environment.
Peer networks
Peer networks of philanthropic support organizations are also coming into being,
particularly for community foundations. For example, WINGS is a global network of
more than 100 membership associations and support organizations that have joined
together to learn from, support, and collaborate with one another.
WINGS-CF is a constituency within WINGS of approximately 60 organizations involved in
the development and support of community foundations.
The Community Philanthropy Initiative of the European Foundation Centre provides a
network for those promoting philanthropy through community philanthropy
organizations in Europe.
The Transatlantic Community Foundation Network and the Transatlantic Community
Foundation Fellowship program provide additional opportunities for community
foundation leaders and activists from Europe and North America to learn from each
other through working groups, study visits and exchanges.
31. Philanthropy promotion organizations
National and regional organizations are being created to develop philanthropy
“holistically.” Philanthropy “centers” encourage philanthropy and address obstacles to
its growth through a variety of initiatives, including advocating for an enabling legal
and/or tax environment; building awareness of the importance of philanthropy; building
the skills and knowledge of donors and potential donors; and addressing the needs of
particular subgroups such as corporate foundations or diaspora philanthropists.
Such centers often also work with the broader non-profit sector to develop policies and
practices to encourage philanthropy in such areas as transparency and accountability
and effective fundraising. For example, the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy,
established with support from the Aga Khan Foundation in 2002, is developing a
certification system for NGOs to counter the lack of public trust that undermines the
development of local philanthropy.
The APPC, one of very few regional organizations of this sort, offers an excellent model
for others interested in the promotion of regional philanthropy.

33. Sustainability
The most significant challenge facing almost all philanthropic support organizations is the
most basic: funding.
In their start-up phase, such organizations often rely almost entirely on external funding.
To date, the foundations supporting philanthropic infrastructure-creation have been
limited, led by the Ford and Mott Foundations, and including the Kellogg and Packard
Foundations and Atlantic Philanthropies.
Two of these foundations, Packard and Atlantic, have recently suspended funding in this
area, leaving institutions both within and outside the United States with large resource
gaps and illustrating the funding dependency of much of the philanthropic
infrastructure.
A heavy reliance on foreign donors is not simply a financial challenge – funding will, after all,
come to an end sooner or later – but can also raise issues of legitimacy, agenda setting,
and public perception. As noted earlier, the priorities of foreign institutions and local
organizations are not always fully congruent. However, the underlying objectives are
generally compatible and tensions can often be resolved and managed. An example of this
is Romania where the Romania Donors’ Forum provides a useful venue for the
development of local philanthropy, as well as a forum for the discussion of broader topics
relating to the sector.

Even in the absence of systematic evaluation there is little doubt that initiatives to
promote philanthropy are having an impact. Despite this, global philanthropic
capital remains limited, particularly in comparison to global wealth. For
philanthropy to become a significant global force for good, more knowledge, new
approaches, and stronger commitments will be required.
Sustainability
35. Although this paper focuses primarily on specific
approaches and strategies to promote philanthropy,
several significant factors should be taken into
consideration in almost any effort to increase giving
Cultural and regional differences.
The role of civil society.
Any effort to promote the development of philanthropy must
respect the development of civil society within a country
or culture. Local views on the legitimate role of civil
society must guide the development and scope of a
philanthropic culture.
Considering the Bigger Picture
36. Building the Knowledge Base
How to foster philanthropy is a question about which the knowledge base is limited, though growing.
Research on philanthropic motivations, interests, practices, and impact does not directly promote
giving. But it is an important arrow in the quiver of promoting long term, sustainable philanthropy. It is
difficult to see how appropriate promotion strategies can be identified, developed, or implemented
without a concrete understanding of existing attitudes, perceptions, and practices in the field.
Among the knowledge needs:
Survey studies. In most countries there are few studies that provide reliable data on either individual or
institutional giving. With few exceptions, there has been little systematic effort to capture the sources
and volume of giving, or to classify its purposes. There are virtually no studies that track changes in
giving over time
Qualitative analyses. Additional qualitative knowledge would be helpful, particularly about philanthropic
values, motivations, and impact. While the focus of this paper has largely been on mechanisms to
promote philanthropy, the starting point of any philanthropic journey is personal motivation; its
ultimate goal is maximum impact. Existing research and investment has very often focused on
philanthropy’s “transfer
mechanisms.” Largely ignored have been the important “ends” of the philanthropic continuum.
Traditions of giving. Our knowledge of the traditions and cultures of giving, particularly at the
community level, is very limited. Practices such as obligatory or reciprocal giving do not easily fit the
common Western definition of philanthropy that promotes a broad “public good.” Yet these traditional
practices are critically important and can be essential to the further development of philanthropy.
Existing cultures of giving should be identified and studied, perhaps even before efforts are made to
introduce external models.
Considering the Bigger Picture
37. Expanding the Conversation
Many organizations worldwide are currently engaged in philanthropy’s promotion. Yet in many ways, the
conversation remains narrow and the participants too few. Future efforts must engage more and
broader constituencies, expand the base, and push beyond known and tested promotion strategies.
Multiple constituencies. Efforts to promote philanthropy must acknowledge and engage the multiple
constituencies that are both the shapers and stakeholders of philanthropy’s role in society. Such
constituencies include the general public, high net worth individuals, corporations, government, and the
institutions of civil society. Many conversations about philanthropy today tend to engage constituencies
horizontally, i.e., bringing together those in similar professional and peer groups
The NGO sector. This paper has focused predominantly on approaches that target philanthropy’s “supply
side” -- donors and potential donors. Yet as noted at the outset, in many countries there is general
agreement that one of the key obstacles to the growth of philanthropy is the public’s attitude toward
civil society generally.
Efforts to promote philanthropy need to consider both the supply and demand side of the philanthropic
equation.
Wider philanthropic engagement. As noted earlier, philanthropic promotion efforts have often targeted
the very wealthy. The philanthropic potential of lower and middle income individuals has not been
sufficiently explored or encouraged. The potential impact of many modest contributions is often more
sustainable over time than a smaller number of larger gifts.38 Moreover, the emerging middle class in
many countries offers possibilities for philanthropic role modeling and leadership to others in this
growing population.
New investment strategies. Investment strategies to promote philanthropy are increasing both in number
and in their creativity. Still, due in part to the small number of investors and the level of investment,
they remain limited both in range and in scope. Promising ideas go unfunded and proven approaches
are difficult to replicate. One example is diaspora philanthropy. The diaspora is an important source of
philanthropic resources in many countries, and there are promising initiatives to promote diaspora
giving. But the application and suitability of existing diaspora giving models to other countries or ethnic
groups has not been sufficiently explored.
