    Global Civil Society Response to the COVID-19 Crisis
    (Springer, 2023-07-18) Garcia, Silvia; Carrigan, Cathie; Wiepking, Pamala
    How did Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) globally address the needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic? In this study, we examine the roles CSOs played during the first eighteen months of the pandemic, their main challenges, and how the pandemic changed CSOs’ roles in society across 39 countries and economies. Using inductive thematic analysis analyzing responses from global philanthropy experts in two consecutive studies (2020 & 2021), we find that CSOs played fourteen roles, of which we discuss the six most mentioned: providing social assistance; responding to health care needs; coordinating and collaborating with government and business; mobilizing funds to address societal needs; raising awareness and combating misinformation; and advocating. Challenges for CSOs included reduced revenue and difficulty reaching beneficiaries. We found these challenges led to innovative ways of operating and new arrangements between civil societies and governments, which may have opened opportunities for a more active role of CSOs.

    (2020-10-22) Osili, Una; Kou, Xiaonan; Carrigan, Cathie; Bergdoll, Jon; Horvath, Kinga; Adelman, Carol; Sellen, Charles
    The Global Philanthropy Tracker (GPT) details the magnitude of cross-border philanthropic contributions globally. By capturing contributions made by individual and institutional donors to support charitable causes across national borders, this report aims to offer a more complete picture of global philanthropic flows. The 2020 GPT provides an updated estimate of the amount of cross-border philanthropy that occurred in 2018 or the most recent year for which data are available. It further compares cross-border philanthropy to three other cross-border resource flows: official development assistance (ODA), remittances, and private capital investment.

    (Wiley, 2024-02) Hampton, DeeAndria; Wiepking, Pamala; Chapman, Cassandra; Holmes McHugh, Lucy; Arnesen, Daniel; Carrigan, Cathie; Feit, Galia; Grönlund, Henrietta; Hrafnsdóttir, Steinunn; Ivanova, Natalya; Katz, Hagai; Kim, Sung-Ju; Kristmundsson, Ómar H.; Litofcenko, Julia; Mersianova, Irina; Neumayr, Michaela; Pessi, Anne Birgitta; Scaife, Wendy; Sivesind, Karl Henrik; Vamstad, Johan; Yang, Yongzheng; Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
    This practice paper articulates the key learnings for philanthropic organizations based on their experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Which actions can philanthropic organizations take to best support community needs during times of crisis? To answer this question, we synthesize information about how philanthropic organizations responded during the early COVID-19 crisis (spring―fall 2020) across 11 countries: Australia, Austria, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Israel, Norway, Sweden, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, and the United States of America. Results indicate four key actions that we recommend philanthropic organizations take during times of crisis: (1) Assess community needs; (2) engage with volunteers and donors; (3) communicate effectively and strategically with volunteers, donors, and the public; and (4) focus on equity.
