Philanthropy has changed a lot in 25 years, but you don’t always see how your own child grows. As our field has undergone profound shifts, Alliance has been telling the story of philanthropy from the flowering of civil society in the nineties to the birth of philanthrocapitalism and the Giving Pledge, the resurgence of community philanthropy, and a possible return to philanthropy based on trust, humility and larger doses of unrestricted funding.

The magazine has evolved alongside the philanthropy sector itself, exploring its most pertinent debates and setting out to both challenge and inform. Milestones prompt us also to reflect before moving forward. Have we reached the destination we anticipated, or have we arrived at a place that looks wholly different? What have we learned …
