  • Summary

    The global financing gap for sustainable development is widening, demanding innovative solutions. This chapter explores how philanthropy can unlock private capital through blended finance and catalytic capital, ensuring critical priorities – from climate action to poverty reduction – receive the funding they require. As emerging markets face investment shortfalls, philanthropy’s risk-taking potential can de-risk projects, attract institutional investors, and drive systemic change.

    Drawing on insights from the OECD and global experts, this chapter highlights the transformative power of public-private-philanthropic partnerships and how foundations can move beyond traditional grant making to deploy impact investments, guarantees, and innovative financial tools. By strategically aligning resources across sectors, philanthropy can bridge capital markets and the SDGs, catalyzing investments that balance financial returns with meaningful social and environmental impact and ultimately redefining its role as a driving force for global change.
