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.
In this issue, we present the results of our special anniversary readers survey, hearing the hopes of philanthropy practitioners born in 1996 – the same year as Alliance – and look forward to what the next 25 years of philanthropy has to offer.
