About
Why is it important to research philanthropy and establish a closer relation between research and philanthropy? Why is it important to have an infrastructure to enhance critical thinking, underpin new trends and contribute to good judgment in the philanthropic sector? The way that philanthropy develops and the role that it plays and is supposed to play, namely, to be concerned about complex and sometimes even global problems in society, have a direct bearing on the relation between philanthropy and research. The transformation from charity and financial handouts to strategic philanthropy equipped with a large toolbox of instruments ranging from donations to social investments, requires more in-depth insights into the root causes of problems, in alternative strategies for solving such problems and ways to develop advocacy and narratives that influence policymaking and the public discourse. For this reason, closer cooperation between philanthropy and philanthropy research is now more important than ever before.
