Global Social Change Philanthropy - Resources

Social change philanthropy has recently emerged as a research topic. Through our Learning and Research Committee, we are strongly committed to pursuing research that leverages more resources to the developing world and improves the quality and effectiveness of international grantmaking.

Here are some selected resources we have found useful to understanding social change philanthropy:

“What is Philanthropy for Social Justice?” article by Gw/oB member John Heller. The Synergos Institute has formed a Social Justice Philanthropy Working Group.
