Philanthropic Investors Forum | Global Philanthropy in 2036: Designing What Comes Next (Invite only)

Philanthropy is at an inflection point—shaped by emerging technologies, shifting power dynamics, new models of collaboration and expectations for impact. This highly interactive session will invite funders to imagine the landscape a decade from now. We will begin with a short conversation with two global philanthropists sharing their visions for the future of giving—what inspires them and how philanthropy must evolve to remain relevant and effective. Participants will then engage in facilitated small-group work to co-create a “preferred future state” for global philanthropy in 2036. Through collaborative exercises, attendees will identify the values, innovations, and shifts they hope will define the field, along with practical implications for how funders can begin preparing for it now. This session is designed not just to forecast change, but to help shape it.
