Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy

We are the Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy, the global leader in growing personally meaningful giving through the science of philanthropic psychology.

Founded in 2019, our mission is simple but transformative: to grow the human capacity to love - and in doing so, to revolutionize fundraising.

Our research shows that when giving is deeply meaningful to the donor, charitable income doesn’t just grow - it doubles, trebles, even quadruples. And just as importantly, donors experience greater wellbeing and fulfillment through their giving.

We support fundraisers, nonprofits, and sector leaders worldwide through:

🎓 University-level training & online courses

🔬 Research-led fundraising consultancy

🧠 Donor surveys & communications audits

🛠️ Tailored workshops, masterclasses & speaking engagements

📚 Academic research & publications

If you believe fundraising should be transformative, sustainable, and deeply human — we’re here to help you make that a reality.
