In this August issue of WINGS Dispatch, we look at philanthropic freedom, Social Return on Investment, and the changing landscape in Africa. WINGS board members John Ulanga, Tina Thiart and Jenny Hodgson report on the evolving landscape of philanthropy in Africa, where the trend to connect philanthropy with business is especially apparent. We also share new developments in data, Community Philanthropy, and take a look at the first ever analysis of philanthropic freedom across the world. Headlines, events, new reports from GIFE and EVPA, opportunities and more as we draw closer to Istanbul in 2014.
