About the book
Global Philanthropy follows in the footsteps of Philanthropy in Europe: A rich past, a promising future (Alliance Publishing Trust 2008), by the same editors. It aims to provide a snapshot of philanthropy, past and present, from all corners of the globe - from Oceania, East Asia, the Indian sub-continent, the Gulf States and Africa, to North America and Brazil.
The book aims to provide insight and inspiration on philanthropic practices the world over, and it is hoped that it will contribute to achieving a sense of global community within the philanthropic sector. The chapters in the book provide stories of philanthropy from around the globe and essays on the issues facing the sector.
It is anticipated that Global Philanthropy will facilitate and encourage the exchange of ideas between philanthropic organisations and underline areas in which the global philanthropic community can work together to meet the challenges of the modern world.
Finally, it is also hoped that the book will reach out to the general public, to inform and encourage philanthropic endeavours.
