Partners in Impact: Championing Philanthropy’s Promise (Invite only)

-

A skilled workforce. A healthy community. Pathways to prosperity. These are just a few of the pillars of a thriving society that private and corporate foundations are investing in. As key actors in the philanthropic sector, the two groups have traditionally pursued their work on parallel tracks, with limited collaboration. Yet in today's turbulent environment, where philanthropy faces growing scrutiny, public funding continues to retreat, and the needs remain vast, the urgency to break silos and work together in more strategic and consequential ways has never been greater. In this private session, leaders from both communities will challenge the status quo—exploring models of aligned incentives, breaking down barriers, and identifying tangible opportunities for meaningful collaboration that deliver timely and significant impact.
