The Philanthropy Transformation Initiative (PTI), conceptualised and hosted by WINGS, is a collective effort by philanthropy networks, advisories, support organisations, academic centres, and funders from around the world to challenge our field to transform ourselves, our practices and our institutions and build a movement to address existential global challenges. It is a distillation of collective insights and global experiences that brings together our diverse community’s collective wisdom. It reflects and builds on a great number of debates, reports, guides, tools, and practices that our members and partners have developed in their respective spheres of influence.

It is a product of a participatory and collaborative approach which included:

• Desk research to identify and understand the work currently underway in the sector on the transformation agenda.
• Insights and feedback from a diverse advisory group that guided and challenged our thinking on the transformation agenda.
• Feedback from the WINGS network and community through individual discussions and online meetings.
• The initiative includes the Philanthropy Transformation Initiative Report, 10 principles to guide philanthropic institutions on the transformation journey, inspiring case studies from around the world that tell stories of transformation and a list of resources to draw on.
