In the Middle East, a new cohort of leaders and philanthropists is emerging. While some are already established in their philanthropic journeys and others are just starting out, they share extraordinary potential, motivation, and resources to address challenges and unlock new opportunities for the region. The Pearl Initiative and the Zovighian Partnership, with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, have published newfound research in a paper titled, Grounded in tradition, looking to the future: Understanding next-generation philanthropy in the Middle East that intimately explores gaps, challenges, and opportunities for nextgeneration givers living in or from the Middle East. The research paper illuminates emerging trends and practices shaping next-generation philanthropy, and underscores the necessity for further research to strengthen impact in the region.
