167. How to defend philanthropy, with Dr Beth Breeze

How do we defend philanthropy?

There have always been criticisms of charity in general and philanthropy in particular. But in recent years it seems that this has become more widespread, and that this issue may be having a detrimental effect on donations at all levels.

If we work for a charity, understanding the issues is valuable for our own confidence and for the sector as a whole.

For help and encouragement, Rob was delighted to talk to Dr Beth Breeze, Director of the Centre of Philanthropy at the University of Kent. Beth has written an excellent book on this subject, In Defence of Philanthropy. In the interview Beth shares the three most common types of criticism she has found through her research, and she shares examples and her ideas for how we might respond to each one.

We’d love to know what you think and your ideas on this subject. Beth and Rob are both on LinkedIn.
