From a description of various forms of individual giving to the growing importance of community philanthropy and structured, institutional giving, the current report is an effort to bring back the diversity of the field of philanthropy at the center of the debate, by drawing a comprehensive and provocative picture of current trends and challenges of the field. The report also raises some of the questions and issues most critical and central to its development – from technology and shrinking civic space to power dynamics within philanthropy practice and concepts, to the evolving role and form of philanthropy infrastructure.

Impact Investing in Asia: Overcoming Barriers to Scale While the Asian social investment ecosystem is maturing, growth is uneven and impact investment remains less developed here compared to the rest of the world. As a result, the impact investing industry in Asia remains less understood compared to its counterparts elsewhere. Against this backdrop, AVPN and GIIN have collaborated with Oliver Wyman and Marsh & McLennan Insights to explore the current characteristics of impact investing in the region, with special focus on China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines. This report captures the experiences and insights of stakeholders from the AVPN network who serve different roles within the broad impact investment ecosystem in Asia. Impact Investing in Asia: Overcoming Barriers to Scale serves as a resource for impact investors and other key stakeholders in Asia to better understand the growing industry within a regional context while providing key recommendations to develop the ecosystem further.

In this report, we present a summary of our findings, which we hope will contribute to depicting the funding landscape for CSOs in Latin America. We do so with the ambition of stimulating debates based on empirical evidence, rethinking civil society funding practices and promoting actions that democratise access to predictable flows of resources to strengthen the autonomy, sustainability and diversity of civil society.

WINGS and the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) present this tool, designed to help philanthropy organizations decide where it may be most effective to engage in efforts to improve the legal environment at the national and/or regional levels. It aims to help organizations think critically about a variety of relevant factors and weigh different considerations in the process of engaging in specific strategies. This tool seeks to lay out the most important considerations and guide organizations to analyze them both individually and in relation with each other. The main PDF (below) provides the content and concrete examples of how to use the tool, which is divided into three parts. To download the following templates, copy and paste each link in your browser.  Part 1: seeks to help you gather the information you need to understand issues with the legal environment, how they affect civil society (including philanthropy organizations), the key players, and different factors to consider when deciding whether to engage.  Download the template: http://bit.ly/Toolkit_Part1 Part 2: asks you to map the issues that civil society is facing based on the priority in addressing them, as well as how long it will take to resolve the issue and the complexity of the required solution. This can help you see where there might be relatively easily attainable successes and where you may have to prepare for a longer-term engagement that will require more resources. Download the template: http://bit.ly/Toolkit_Part2  Part 3: seeks to help you identify where there are allies who could support your work and potential openings to reach decisionmakers. It guides you to assess the strength of the opportunity for engagement based on these factors. Download the template: http://bit.ly/Toolkit_Part3 This tool was designed based on two online capacity building sessions led by ICNL. Watch the 1st and the 2nd Online Sessions available on YouTube: http://bit.ly/1st_OnlineTraining and http://bit.ly/2nd_OnlineTraining Download the presentation shared during the 1st Online Training: http://bit.ly/Training_Presentation The main PDF (below) provides the content and concrete examples of how to use the tool.
