How can we give in a way that transforms both society and the donor? Ise Bosch and Dreilinden gGmbH support global social movements advocating for the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Alongside Justus Eisfeld and Claudia Bollwinkel, Bosch explores transformative philanthropy, featuring voices from cooperation partners and funding recipients who have firsthand experience with this approach. The book includes impactful photographs by South African artist Muholi, known for their art and activism. Bosch proposes a philanthropy model based on trust, converting the power of money into empowerment for many. She believes societies are stronger when gender roles are less binary and hierarchical. For her commitment to human rights, Bosch will receive the prestigious German Donor Award on May 16 in Nuremberg. The book addresses how money and privilege can drive profound social change in this field. Amid growing criticism of social inequality, philanthropy can enhance its relevance through thoughtful collaboration with marginalized groups. It examines the power dynamics between donors and funded projects, presenting participatory and inclusive approaches that empower beneficiaries. This work highlights the critical role of philanthropy in social justice and human rights, bringing visibility to often ignored issues and individuals.
