Hands on Philanthropy

22.06.2026 – 10.07.2026

The Summer School programme “Hands-on Philanthropy” is a vibrant complement to existing courses in philanthropy at the University of Geneva. Located in the heart of Geneva’s unique ecosystem of international organizations, foundations, and financial institutions, the summer school offers three weeks of classes, workshops, site visits, and personal study.

The curriculum focuses on three forward-looking topics that highlight key emerging trends shaping the future of global philanthropy:
Evidence-Based Philanthropy: The use of data science and digital tools to inform philanthropic decision-making.

Philanthropic Asset Management: Aligning investment strategies with mission and impact objectives.
Circular Economy and Philanthropy: building public–private partnerships for sustainable resource management and systemic change.

The programme emphasises the centrality of data in philanthropic practice—supporting analysis, fundraising, and advocacy through innovative digital tools. It also explores the governance and management of philanthropic capital and introduces participants to circular economy principles as a framework for sustainable impact.

Through a blend of academic insight, applied case studies, and experiential workshops, participants engage directly with real-world challenges and opportunities in philanthropy.

This summer school is designed for students and professionals alike. Hands-on Philanthropy equips participants with the analytical and strategic competencies needed to navigate and shape the evolving landscape of global philanthropy.
