2026 Global Philanthropy Tracker

The Global Philanthropy Tracker (GPT) is a first-of-its-kind research effort that provides a baseline for understanding global philanthropy by tracking cross-border giving at the country-level and analyzing how these private donations interact with the broader landscape of international development assistance and resource flows. It presents data on four major resource flows—philanthropic outflows, official development assistance (ODA), remittances, and private capital investment. Building on the latest data available across countries, the forthcoming 2026 GPT report provides an updated analysis of these four resource flows and sheds light on how private giving and development assistance have evolved in a shifting global landscape. The new report covers 47 countries, which together represented 83% of global GDP.

Read the following information for a sneak preview of some of the findings from this new report ahead of its official release later this spring.

This increase was outpaced by inflation, translating into a slight decline of 1% when adjusted for inflation.

The Global Philanthropy Tracker (GPT) is a first-of-its-kind and only ongoing research effort to measure cross-border private philanthropy flows at the global level. To place philanthropy in a broader context, the report compares it with three externally tracked cross-border resource flows: official development assistance (ODA), remittances, and private capital investment.

Stay tuned: The full 2026 GPT report will be released later this spring online.
