SDG Philanthropy Platform
According to NPTrust, foundations gave away close to $91 billion in 2021. However, giving from philanthropy is just a tiny sliver of the pie. Much larger amounts of development funding come from governments. The SDG Philanthropy Platform (SDGPP) is a part of Worldwide Initiatives for Grantmaker Support. The organization convenes local actors and diverse sectors to create enabling environments. SDGPP is part of the United Nations Development Program, which works in 170 countries. Despite skepticism, UNDP has built trust and provides valuable consultative services in many of these countries. Successful partnerships with governments and related organizations can increase development efforts enormously and prevent wasting extensive amounts of money.
