Agility isn’t optional: A call to transform philanthropy
What does it take for philanthropy to stay relevant when everything is shifting?
At #9thEAPC (Kigali, 11–13 June 2025), 300+ changemakers from 32 countries agreed: agility is non-negotiable. Philanthropy must decentralize power, listen differently, finance adaptively, and measure what communities value. Key takeaways included unlocking diaspora remittances, building public-private-philanthropy partnerships, and using storytelling and flexible platforms to deepen trust and accountability.
By the close, the message was clear: the crisis isn’t funding, it’s the model. If our purpose is intact, we keep going, resources or not. For CivSource Africa, agile philanthropy means systems that breathe and endure amid disruption.
Act with us, partner, co-create, and pilot agile funding models that meet communities where they are.
