What's new
New philanthropy goes global
Around the globe, individuals are increasingly embracing philanthropy to ‘give back to society’ and to test innovative approaches to tackling complex social problems.
The September issue of the Philanthropy UK Newsletter explores emerging trends in philanthropy in six countries around the globe. They all share an important trend – a shift from ‘charity’ to ‘philanthropy’ – that is, tackling causes rather than symptoms – as donors become more strategic, and more engaged, in their giving.
