The charitable sector has its own language that often is hard to understand. Terms are used in different meanings and contexts by different players or stakeholders. We have summarised the key terms we use to describe the central ideas of active philanthropy in our Active Philanthropy glossary.

In autumn 2009 we will publish our report on funding children's issues. The report describes the main challenges to be managed in order to guarantee a healthy development for all children living on this planet. It presents possible ways to get seriously and effectively involved in this funding field. The author, Dr. Burkhard Gnärig, shares his wide experience in funding children's issues as well as in working with local, national and international CSOs.

You will find further information on the Active Philanthropy's reports here.
