This means that over 96% of humanity, including most of the world's
poorest and neediest people, are denied access to the largest pool of
philanthropic capital in the world. International Donors' Dialogue works
with public and private foundations who share a common desire to expand
and enrich progressive international philanthropy. They hope to arouse
more support for international projects by providing free advice, alternative
sources of information and increased opportunities for communication
among donors.

into a world in which all individuals will have equal rights and opportunities,
in which the differences -- of sex, age, ethnicity, class, education,
sexual preference, physical capacity or whatever other social condition
-- would not mean that some people give orders and others are obliged
to obey and keep quiet in their daily lives in the street, in the home
and in the bed. And also, in the school, the workplace and the community
-- in sum, in the world in general."
