Philanthropy is a discipline which, in order to meet the ever-changing challenges that the world presents, must constantly evolve.

It must build on best practice and the latest thinking for solving social problems. To support our donors towards this end we have devised Think Philanthropy.

Think Philanthropy is an ongoing series of projects, papers, talks and days of learning, based upon original research, which discusses the most pressing issues in the field and the latest thinking and trends for strategic philanthropy.

Think Philanthropy is conducted in both public and private sessions with leading philanthropists.

In collaboration with experts such as Paul Collier, Professor of Economics Oxford University, Professor David Swensen, CIO Yale University, Dr Steve Howard, CEO Climate Group and Dr Sigrid Rausing, Director Sigrid Rausing Trust, we have explored, among other issues, the complexities of international philanthropy, climate change, effective charitable asset management, funding in areas of high risk, and funding in an economic downturn.

Our dedicated in-house research team has also produced timely and comprehensive reports for a number of eminent organisations and foundations.
