As COVID-19 started to take hold of countries and regions around the world in Spring 2020, SIX began developing a global scan exploring the most innovative ways in which philanthropic organisations around the world have been pivoting in order to support grantees and communities now and in the future.
We wanted to better understand the picture of global philanthropic responses to COVID-19 and its effects, across time and space – not just in Europe or North America. We were interested in the how more than the what, how many of these changes were good or would stick, who did they benefit, and what would these changes mean for the way funders operate in the future?
