The Global Philanthropy Environment Index (GPEI) provides the tools global leaders need to understand how and where the philanthropic environment is changing and evolving and – most importantly – how to maximize philanthropy’s ability to help solve pressing challenges.

The 2022 GPEI evaluates countries and economies on a five-point scale (1.0 to 5.0) across six key factors that comprehensively measure philanthropy: (1) ease of operating a philanthropic organization; (2) tax incentives on giving; (3) cross-border philanthropic flows; (4) political environment; (5) economic environment; and (6) socio-cultural environment for philanthropy. This is the first year the report has included a review of the economic environment as its own consideration in the analysis.
