There is no single true path to philanthropy; it is as individual and unique as every person, driven by their passions, skills and ambitions for society. What is common to all, though, are the questions that guide philanthropists and which they ask themselves along the way.

The “UBS Philanthropy Compass” asks the key questions any philanthropist should consider to shape their philanthropy. This handbook guides the reader through them in a logical sequence intended to trigger and structure thinking. It was designed as a working tool, a discussion starter, which ultimately can help individuals and organizations find their own answers.
