Programme Summary
Global philanthropy needs innovative solutions. That's why WINGS applies peer learning and support by mobilising philanthropy professionals in the network to share best practices and real-world experiences with one another. Our peer learning events (PLEs) and webinars educate our members on new approaches to giving, and help to strengthen organisational capacity through knowledge exchange.
Peer Learning Events (PLEs)
Our PLE programme brings together the best in the sector to address the challenges faced by associations and grantmakers every day.

Promoting knowledge exchange is at the core of what we do. Our webinar series is a dynamic, cost-effective way to help develop organisational capacity, and gives network participants more "face time" between PLEs and regional meetings. (click to view)
