Accountability and Transparency Toolkit in Philanthropy and Private Social Investment

This toolkit attempts to inform support organizations serving philanthropy on the essential elements of transparency and accountability for philanthropy and private social investment. Based on the input of the Worldwide Initiatives for Grantmaker Support (WINGS) members at various regional consultations and the review of literature on the topic, this toolkit provides the reader with information that guides best practice and offers practical information and a range of resources with which to work.

The objectives of the toolkit are threefold:

1. To increase awareness of the essential elements of transparency and accountability for philanthropy and private social investment.
2. To highlight key issues, concepts and practices identified through regional consultations.
3. To provide tools and resources for support organizations serving philanthropy to advance the discussion and practice of accountability with their members and/or clients.
