It is sociologically unthinkable to approach grant-making philanthropy and yet ignoring the issue of inequality. In the first place it is because foundations are the result of the financial accumulation of certain individuals, but it also because these organizations claim to overcome inequalities and to resolve injustices. Therefore, PhiLab proposes a report that places the philanthropic action of foundations at the heart of the dialectic that operates between “real socio-economic inequalities” and “egalitarian society project to be achieved”. After addressing several facets of the issue of equality (inequalities, social justice and poverty), we will continue with Aboriginal philanthropy; a sector of intervention where we can clearly understand the role of philanthropy in preserving social cohesion.
PhiLab is thinking big and proposes the following articles:

– An Indigenous-philanthropic partnership that didn’t work, and what we can learn from it, Juniper Glass, PhiLab
– La philanthropie autochtone: un rapatriement de la gouvernance sociale – Etude de la Fondation Nouveaux Sentiers, David Grant-Poitras, PhiLab
– S’associer aux communautés autochtones : un défi pour les bailleurs de fonds philanthropiques canadiens, Nicole Rigillo, PhiLab, pour PFC
– L’Année PhiLanthropique janvier 2018
– L’intégrale (compilation) 2017 de l’Année PhiLanthropique
