Takaful 2012: Second Annual Conference on Arab Philanthropy and Civic Engagement
  How Can We Grow the Work
Ideas from Practitioners of Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace
     
In 2012 in Cairo, the conference provided a creative space within which an exchange of ideas between academics and practitioners took place with the goal of solidifying an infrastructure for the field. As many transitions -- economic, social and political -- continue to unfold, the papers delivered at the conference, of which a selection are made available in this volume, sought to take stock and make sense of those changes, both conceptually and at the level of practice.

How can we grow the practice of philanthropy for social justice and peace?
This is the question put to twenty-four leading practitioners from different parts of the world during interviews conducted between May and December of 2012. In the pages that follow, you’ll hear a fascinating and at times provocative array of answers, reflections, and further questions. Some talk about the relationship between social justice and economic development. Others call for a greater emphasis on indigenous philanthropy. Some speak to what is common among practitioners of social justice philanthropy, while others discuss geographic differences. Risk emerges as a key obstacle, networking as a key opportunity.
