Thank you again to @GBNEWS for inviting me to join @AlStewartOBE and Friends to discuss the power and potential of philanthropy, a $151bn economic activity in the UK alone in 2020! Its potential to education and society at large is colossal. More at youtu.be/CTok7zg_Ik8
Many wealthy people - 66 out of the top 100 in the Sunday Times #RichList - give to UK universities making a remarkable contribution to Higher Education. That’s a cause of great celebration. #universityphilanthropy #oxford #highereducation #institutionaladvancement

Esquecido ou pouco amado? Por que o ensino superior da América Latina merece mais atenção dos filantropos #WhyNotLatAm #philanthropy #universityphilanthropy #institutionaladvancement
Why does so little global philanthropy go to LatAm universities? Higher education is a big beneficiary of philanthropy. Most big foundations give to universities worldwide. But very little goes to Latin America. Why?

@Forbes reports the number of billionaires "exploded" in 2020 with their collective wealth rising by $5tr to $13.1tr. Substantial private wealth fuels philanthropy; this study is a strong indicator of large-scale philanthropic activity in the coming years. forbes.com/billionaires/
