Your favourite issue of Alliance magazine? Vote now

To kick off our anniversary year, we asked you to vote for your favourite special feature from the past 25 years. You selected ‘Philanthropy and Power’ and so we revisited the topic in an Alliance Extra looking at what has changed since 2013 and whether founders are more willing to give power.

Future of philanthropy event series

As the only truly global philanthropy publication, we’re celebrating our 25th anniversary with six online events held in local timezones in the Arab region, Latin America, North America, Africa, Europe and Asia, .

We’ll be working with key partners around the world to explore what the future of philanthropy holds in each of these regions. Are you based in of these regions and interested in attending? Receive updates by signing-up for announcements.

Wherever you are in the world, you’ll be able to join one of our 25 moments online. This year, we’ll be hosting webinars on Scale up philanthropy, Black women in philanthropy, #ShiftThePower, The future of the philanthropy focused media.

Each of the sessions will include an expert panel who will be asked to consider this subject by using the current year as a reflection point to look back over the last 25 years and ahead in to the future.

Four times a year, we will also bring together leading philanthropy practitioners, non-profit leaders, academics and others to discuss questions arising from the special feature in the latest issue of the magazine.
