Active Philanthropy is a space where where donors can meet others to learn from or join, and where they can find practical advice on the crucial issues related to becoming a (more) effective donor.
Therefore Active Philanthropy provides a variety of services all of which are focusing on hands-on experiences donors can implement in their own work, and on using learning methods tailored to their individual needs.
Our approach centres on:
Action Learning: Effective giving can best be learnt when donors are actively involved. In our workshops we therefore visit projects on the site, work on condrete cases and use new and interactive learning methods to ensure you can easily tranfer the lessons learned into your daily work.
Peer Exchange and Collaboration: We strongly believe in the strength of peer-to-peer exchange. Donors learn best from experiences - their own or those of other donors. Therefore all Active Philanthropy services focus on connecting peers and on collaboration with other players in the field. We also provide access to experts and practitioners, scientists and CSOs. For peer- to-peer exchange we have created the Philanthropeers platform.
Tailor-made Philanthropy: Your motivations, values, background and hopes as a donor are as important to developing a personal giving strategy as the issues you have chosen to work on. In our Philanthropy Quest Programme we will work with you on defining or rediscovering your personal wishes and motivations. In order to take you to an ideal starting point for your personal journey to the world of philanthropy.
Privacy and Confidentiality: Our work is based on our clients' trust. Throughout all aspects of our work we guarantee absolute privacy and strict confidentiality.
