Next Philanthropy

What’s next in the foundation and philanthropy sector?

This is a vital question for everyone who works within or with the sector. Our first few hypotheses are: it will be more global, more transparent, more participatory, more collaborative, more digital, and more entrepreneurial; and there will be larger investment.

Next Philanthropy is a global collaboration initiated by the Bundesverband Deutscher Stiftungen (Association of German Foundations). It aims to share knowledge and insights, and to provide an opportunity for thinking ahead.
