Abstract: The creative philanthropy is more and more present in recent debates and studies, along with models of charity/ service, scientific/philanthropy or new scientific approaches. Belonging rather to the third model, creative philanthropy is a basic characteristic of the new philanthropy at the beginning of the 21st century that offers some of the funds to take a different way to help the society. Anheier & Leat (2006)appreciate that philanthropy is experiencing a crisis due to a lack of awareness about the potential that foundations could have. The ability to overcome this crisis provides the key to reinventing philanthropy as a central institution of modern society. In this context, creative philanthropy becomes a central issue of today s philanthropic foundations. The progress of smart cities is to be added to the issues researched before. Recent field literature offers a numerous example of cities where philanthropy is integral to progress. This study is a detailed approach of the conjunction/contiguity between creative philanthropy and smart cities, offering arguments and development support for more extensive studies in the future.
