Investing in Connection: The Role of Philanthropy in Promoting Social Cohesion in a Polarised World
Philanthropy Ireland spotlights the Hope and Courage Collective, which counters hate and disinformation while fostering social cohesion in Ireland. As communities face growing division and online-driven polarisation, the Collective empowers locals, builds trust, and promotes resilient, values-led narratives. Supported by several funders, their work shows how bold, flexible philanthropy can drive systemic, long-term change and strengthen democracy from the ground up.
