Discovering Next-Generation Philanthropy in the Middle East – Research Launch Event

In November 2023, the Pearl Initiative partnered with The Zovighian Partnership to conduct pioneering research on Discovering Next-Generation Philanthropy in the Middle East. Over the past 6 months, we have worked meticulously to consolidate the qualitative and quantitative data that we have compiled on the topic to demonstrate the trends, values, practices, challenges, and opportunities in next-generation philanthropy across the Middle East. By hearing about the unique experiences and perspectives of philanthropists from our combined networks, the insights we have received has proven to be a powerful ode and a significant milestone in understand the evolving landscape of regional philanthropy, as well as the aspirations and endeavors of the next wave of change-makers and humanitarians.

In April 2024, we are jointly hosting the official launch event of the Discovering Next-Generation Philanthropy in the Middle East Research Report to publicly share the invaluable insights into the priorities, obstacles, and incentives that we believe will shape the future of philanthropy.

The launch event has the primary objective of presenting and discussing the findings of the research project, as well as encouraging active participation and dialogue among attendees, to deepen understanding and exchange perspectives on the research findings. Our goal is to inspire actors in the sector to translate the research insights into actionable strategies and initiatives that can advance and drive positive change and innovation in the philanthropic sector. We would hope that this research can raise more awareness about the evolving landscape of regional next-generation philanthropy and shed light on the unique cultural, social, and economic factors influencing philanthropy in the Middle East, highlighting the diversity of approaches and perspectives within the region.
