How Can We Grow the Work? Ideas from Practitioners of Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace

1 March 2013

How can we grow the practice of philanthropy for social justice and peace? This is the question we put to twenty-four leading practitioners from different parts of the world during interviews conducted between May and December of 2012. In the pages that follow, you’ll hear a fascinating and at times provocative array of answers, reflections, and further questions.

Some speak to what is common among practitioners of social justice philanthropy, while others discuss geographic differences. Risk emerges as a key obstacle, networking as a key opportunity.
