Private philanthropy is a growing source of funding for middle and low income countries – supporting global public health, education, agriculture, gender equality or clean energy. However, reliable, comparable and publicly available information on philanthropic funding, priorities and behaviours is surprisingly scarce. This lack of data and evidence has limited philanthropy’s potential to engage, collaborate or co-fund key issues outlined in Agenda 2030, together with other actors working in developing and emerging countries.

The OECD Centre on Philanthropy contributes to the global demand for more and better data and analysis on global philanthropy for development. It brings together relevant efforts from existing research centres and projects, expands the OECD database, and provides research and analysis on global trends and impact of philanthropy for development in the context of the 2030 Agenda.
