From a description of various forms of individual giving to the growing importance of community philanthropy and structured, institutional giving, the current WINGs 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 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. While the number of foundations is increasing, especially in Europe and in some countries in the southern hemisphere, most foundations remain very conservative in the area they support. The full report is available here.
