Some years mark a turning point. The year 2025 is one of them. The authors who contributed to The PhiLanthropic Year 2025 wanted to question, highlight and nourish the fertile tensions, collective dynamics and academic reflections around a theme as sensitive as it is essential: philanthropy in the face of conflict.
Through this collection of articles, we have sought to draw up a living, plural and embodied cartography of contemporary philanthropy, seen through the prism of conflict: a philanthropy rooted in social realities, critical in its approaches, driven by a quest for impact, accuracy and learning. A common thread links the contributions: that of actors and institutions who, far from looking the other way, seek to understand, anticipate or respond to the multiple conflicts – geopolitical, social, ethical – that run through our times.
The stakes are high: conflicts transcend borders. They cross territories, structures and minds. They raise questions about the space, role and responsibilities of the philanthropic sector.
