The Challenge
A leading US educational institution sought to better understand the scale, scope and practices of philanthropic initiatives and organizations in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Our Crafted Solution
Working closely with the US educational institution, Globesight undertook a deep analysis of social, political and economic influences on philanthropy, including initiatives to encourage giving and the role of the government. We mapped the sectors in Kuwait and the UAE, including but not limited to models of philanthropic foundations, operational strategies and philanthropic priorities and purposes. This research culminated in the publication of two in-depth reports, highlighting challenges and opportunities.
The Impact
The two reports helped expand the limited knowledge and data available on the sector as a whole. Greater knowledge on the scope of philanthropy in the Gulf region unlocked the potential to help foundations increase their impact and facilitate more collaboration.
