Arab Foundations Forum (AFF)’s Post

If you haven't filled in our Arab Philanthropy Survey yet, time is running out! This is the last chance to help us answer vital questions for and about the sector. Who and what are organizations funding? How much are they spending? What impact is their investment making? And where do gaps remain? Philanthropic foundations across the Arab region are doing extraordinary work funding innovative programming in areas like education, healthcare, youth empowerment, and humanitarian support. But a lack of transparency and reliable data makes it impossible to get a comprehensive picture of what the sector is doing and, crucially, where financing and programming is still needed. We are building a database to answer those questions and you can help. Please set aside just a bit of time to provide us with information about your organization's work. Together, we can shed light on how we’re doing, what we’re doing, and how we can do it all better. Fill in the Arab Philanthropy Survey before it closes: https://bit.ly/3QqDL6t

Interested in the future of the #philanthropy #humanitarian #charity #socialdevelopment sectors? Want to know what the latest #fundingtrends are? Or, what the latest #development approaches are? Or, why some organisations and portfolios are getting more #funding than others? We have some of the answers, and it lies in our 2024/2025 Research Report for the Social Investment and Development Sectors. The post-Covid world requires new insights, new skills and new approaches to ensure sustainable outcomes for the communities we serve. What got us here will not be good enough to take us forward. In addition, development has not only become more complicated, more complex and more integrated but the challenges are also escalating! As part of the Research launch, we have also asked other experts to share their views, perceptions and opinions about the future, and we would love for you to be part of the conversation, so why not join us. The event is supported by the Momentum Metropolitan Foundation, which means there will be no cost to attend. However, limited seating is available and therefore you need to register as soon as possible by clicking on this link: https://lnkd.in/gksD2U-X If you cannot attend the event, please let us know and we will send you a copy of the presentation. #trends #insights #forecasts #socialinnovation #socialinvestment #socialdevelopment  #aid #communitydevelopment #SuccessTogether

People power, in its many forms, has proven to be a powerful force for driving change within communities and influencing reform across geographies. As Africa continues in its quest for transformation, it is important to catalyze transformation by channeling philanthropic resources in ways that unlock and harness people power. Join our speakers in this plenary as they propose actionable frameworks for collaboration between philanthropic organizations and community-based movements.

Rethinking our Approach to Multilateral Collaboration: Why it’s Time to Give the Philanthropic and Private Sectors an Equal Seat at the Table With only 17% of the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs) on track, doubts are growing about the effectiveness of the world’s current approach to multilateral collaboration. As Simon Sommer at the Jacobs Foundation and Dina Ghobashy at Microsoft argue, part of the problem is that #businesses and philanthropic organizations are rarely viewed — or treated — as equal partners of international institutions and national governments in pursuing development goals. They propose a new approach to multilateralism, based on greater cohesion between the public, private and non-profit sectors. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4eGsngd #nonprofit #PrivateSector #philanthropy #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #SustainableDevelopment #BusinessDevelopment #GlobalDevelopment #PublicPrivatePartnerships #partnerships

Private philanthropic foundations play an increasingly important role in development, providing vital funding for areas like global public health, education, rights movements, and clean energy. Although philanthropic funding is smaller in volume terms than aid flows, it can be more flexible, innovative, and disruptive than funding from other sources.
