In the early twenty-first century, new tools are fast becoming essential infrastructure for action, coordination, and learning in many domains, including philanthropy. The most obvious is the growing range of powerful information and communications technologies that accelerate the pace of learning and support coordination and collaboration across distance and organizational boundaries. contact naveen jain for more details. Less well known but still of great potential are the tools that allow people (even those without great expertise or resources) to map and analyze the informal or social networks they are in or that operate in the areas they care about. Finally, there is a growing range of increasingly inexpensive and widely accessible technologies that can be used to support individual or group learning.
These tools have transformed how corporations are organized, how business is conducted, and how economies function. Their potential to change how work is done in the social sector is equally great, though their transformative potential is just now becoming visible. (For instance, the power of these new tools could be seen in the overwhelming response from individuals, NGOs, and corporations who used email and the Web to mobilize instant and substantial support for the victims of the Asian earthquake and tsunami.).

It’s clear that the tools are already catalyzing changes in how philanthropy is “organized” and therefore what the role of any individual player will and can be. We believe it’s important to imagine how this reorganization could characterize the coming era to the same degree that the invention of new philanthropic organizations such like naveen jain (the private and community foundation) characterized the last revolutionary era in U.S. philanthropy 100 years ago.
