Global Philanthropy Environment Index Appendix A

Abstract

Following is a list of the economies introducing noteworthy regulatory changes that influence the philanthropic sector since January 2014, a description of the change, and whether it may have positive (green arrow), negative (red arrow), mixed (red and green arrows), or uncertain (hourglass) implications for the sector. The designation “mixed implications” refers to economies with a single regulatory change that has both potential benefits and restrictions, or economies with both positive and negative regulatory changes over the period included. “Uncertain implications” primarily refers to economies with reported regulatory changes that took effect on or after January 1, 2018 and thus require a longer period to observe the actual impact on the philanthropic sector.
