Reflections from a diverse group of celebrated philanthropy practitioners on the key lessons learned from the past 25 years working in the sector

Blurred lines of profit and not-for-profit

Atallah Kuttab, founder SAANED for Philanthropy Advisory in the Arab Region

It is 30 years since I decided to drop my job in an engineering consultancy business and join the philanthropy sector. My interest focused on defining local cultures of giving in addition to building the infrastructure of philanthropy in the Arab region and globally. This explains my involvement in philanthropy infrastructure organisations like WINGS, Arab Foundations Forum and SAANED for Philanthropy Advisory.
