Title
Islands of Success Revisited: Which Role for Philanthropy?
Abstract/Description
Readers may have observed at this point that, while the problem solving model does not claim to serve as a blueprint for philanthropic practice, it contains a good deal of implicit advice for practitioners, provided that the single elements are taken as prescriptions rather than explanations. By including ample illustrations on how social impact has been realised in the different cases, we intended to provide an ostensible framework aimed at orienting and informing the future practice of education philanthropy. The purpose of this was to help practitioners develop a more advanced conception of the particular requirements of their profession, and thus to enhance the capacity for intelligent action. In this last chapter we will, first of all, resume our more instrumental findings and outline the model’s implications for philanthropic strategy making. We will subsequently begin putting them into context and discuss their broader societal relevance. The idea is to simultaneously suggest tools for the generation of social impact, as well as put forward a different perspective on how to conceive the results of education philanthropy in the first place.
