Course Description
Global philanthropy has become a significant force in recent years, including both funding from developed countries to create change in the developing world as well as the growth of philanthropy in the developing world. The funds available for global philanthropy, forecasts for its future, media attention, levels of involvement, innovative approaches, expectations, and potential – all have grown and changed tremendously in recent years. In particular, philanthropy in China has developed significantly over the past two decades. A global culture of philanthropy has begun emerging. Thus, it’s important to understand how innovations in philanthropy around the world are having an impact on social, economic and environmental developments. With this growth has come a set of important questions and challenges that this course will explore:
• Given its small size compared with the for-profit and public sectors, how can private philanthropy make a difference?
• What is the best path for philanthropy in developing/emerging markets?
• What models and tools work best to make funding decisions?
• How can progress in tackling complex challenges be defined and measured?
• How can philanthropy achieve scale, sustainability, and systems change?
Key theories and principles will be illustrated by cases and insights from leading philanthropy programs in the U.S., Europe and China. China initiatives profiled will include the Narada, Lao Niu, Vanke and Amway China foundations as well as the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation and the China Global Philanthropy Institute.
