US Philanthropy in the 21st century: a driving force for Aid? US philanthropy is emerging as a global force for social change and
can play in the future a significant role in the landscape of Aid
US philanthropy also faces serious challenges that it should address : the need of a renewed legitimacy and measured social performances which ultimately reminds the debates on ODA in northern countries
Future trends : In the US: a creative tension between domestic needs (Domestic Public Goods)
and growing international commitments (GPGs) At the global level: a diversification of philanthropic models in the southern
hemisphere
The need to improve the dialogue between foundations and donors: more talks, more grassroots cooperation, more data, more staff exchanges
