Online Discussion (LIVE NOW)

Online discussion: Getting global giving going - LIVE NOW
Hosted by Caroline Hartnell and Adele Simmons

Is global philanthropy increasing? What are the barriers to its increase? What can be done to stimulate it?

We originally considered these questions in the December 2004 issue of Alliance, and the debate within the magazine focused on the following areas.

• the need to create a new culture of giving among individuals
• the need to make it easier for individuals to give, both by simplifying the process and by assuring them that their donations are going to reliable groups

Now we'd like to open the conversation wider and have your views on these questions. Our online discussion forum, hosted together with Social Edge, is considering the same question as the December issue - what would it take to really get global philanthropy going?

The discussion will continue until 14 February.
