Philanthropie: Drei Gründe, warum das globale Geben an Grenzen stößt

As the globe's philanthropy faces obstacles, three key reasons explain why global giving hits limitations. The primary issue is the inefficient double structure required for organizations to receive funds, as highlighted by the Amercan organization addressing the impacts of extreme heat on women in the global south. This inefficiency stems from the dominance of large foundations and development agencies, which have long controlled the sector, leaving little room for smaller competitors.
