Third Sector Review 

Virtual special issue of Third Sector Review on philanthropy for publication in December 2023

This special issue contains a curated group of articles on the topic of philanthropy (broadly defined), as previously published in Third Sector Review.  The Co-Editors of the journal have made a selection of well-recognized papers in acknowledgement of the current focus on philanthropy and giving in Australia, as evidenced through the 2023-24 Productivity Commission Inquiry into philanthropy, as well as the Australian Federal Government’s commitment to double philanthropic giving by 2030.

The papers selected are those that we consider representative of the diversity and strength of Third Sector Review and of the breadth of philanthropy research, highlighting many decades of contribution. We extend our gratitude to all the journal’s authors, reviewers and readers, as well as past Editors.

These papers will be re-published in this special issue, with each followed by a new short, reflective commentary on the paper by the original author(s) or by a noted author in their specific field.  We hope this special issue will spur greater interest in philanthropy research across the Asia-Pacific region.
