The COVID-19 crisis has reminded the world of the immediate impact that environmental issues have on our lives. The need for sustainable development has never been clearer. Thus, a key question emerges: What is the charitable sector doing to prepare for this ongoing shift?<\/p>\n

In a new article for The Philanthropist<\/a>, Swiss Philanthropy Foundation Chairman Etienne Eichenberger details three key trends in environmental philanthropy:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Systemic change, not only individual projects<\/li>\n
  2. Yes to collaboration, but with agility<\/li>\n
  3. Transparency is good; consistency is better<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Swiss Philanthropy Foundation, a Swiss-based umbrella foundation, is at the forefront of this movement. Through hosting philanthropic funds, SPF occupies a privileged position within the philanthropy ecosystem, with insight both into what inspires donors to give and into the strategic development of foundations.<\/p>\n

    Collaboration among donors is not merely a question of pooling financial resources, but also of innovation in the choice and allocation of funds. A prime example of this is Partners for a New Economy<\/a>, a philanthropic fund hosted by SPF. Created in 2015 by four foundations, this collaborative fund supports projects that observe the principle that the economy can \u2013 and must \u2013 serve both people and the environment. The Laudes Foundation and the Ford Foundation joined this pioneering collaborative fund in 2020 \u2013 a further testament to the relevance of its strategy.<\/p>\n

    Aside from our fund initiatives, SPF in the frame of its partnership with the Verbier Festival will host on 17 July 2021 a public forum on Harnessing the Power of Philanthropy for our Planet<\/a>. The now sold-out conference offers a platform for reflection\u2014for sharing knowledge across generations and for engaging and fostering environmental innovations.<\/p>\n

    Following the Verbier Festival, we will provide a short video outlining highlights from the forum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
