Controversies in Philanthropy: FSSO 119-100 Fall 2021

What is Ineffective Philanthropy

Through this chapter we will analyze what makes philanthropy effective in developing countries. By looking through different NGOs and their mission around the globe, we will explore controversies in the developing world. No NGO mentioned in this chapter is completely ineffective however certain NGOs are more effective than others at balancing the demands to be an effective NGO. 

The book Why Philanthropy Matters: How the Wealthy Give, and What It Means for Our Economic Well-Being lists the importance of philanthropy as, "it [philanthropy] solves the “problem of wealth” and its corollary of the presence of vast inequality in capitalist economies" (Zoltan 1). The goals of philanthropy are therefore to improve the wellbeing of humans by solving social and structural problems while dealing with the monetary inequality.
