With total giving amounting to USD 42 billion from 2016 to 2019, private philanthropy for development has become an integral part of the development landscape. As the priorities of the Sustainable Development Goals come face-to-face with the worst economic recession since the Great Depression, it is more urgent than ever to harness the promise of philanthropy. But are foundations on the right track to achieve their ambitions?
The OECD Centre on Philanthropy is pleased to launch the second edition of OECD’s flagship report on Private Philanthropy for Development, drawing on an expanded and updated sample of the largest international foundations, and previously non-existent data on foundations in emerging countries.
Join Mathias Cormann, OECD Secretary General, as he launches the report providing the most comprehensive overview of how philanthropy contributes to development to date.
Part 1: Presentation of the report
Unpacking unprecedented data on philanthropy and providing fresh evidence on philanthropy’s goals, scale and scope, including how foundations themselves perceive their contribution to development, their strategic ambitions and the limitations they face.
Part 2: High-level panel discussion
Diving deeper into foundations’ strategies for mobilising additional resources through their assets and philanthropic capital; their engagement in advocacy to amplify and sustain their impact; and their approaches to learning and knowledge production through monitoring and evaluation.
