Philanthropy has always been critical to development. Now, it’s a lifeline, as government donors fall by the wayside like dominoes.
But as Laura Savage of the International Education Funders Group recently put it: “Philanthropy is often looked to as a checkbook, and it is so much more than that.”
Savage was a speaker at one of our Pro Funding briefings, which have become a mainstay on our calendar of events to help you make sense of the tectonic shifts in today’s funding landscape. That, of course, includes philanthropy, which is more than a sector. It’s a world unto itself — one that is experiencing the aftershocks of the foreign aid crisis like everyone else.
