Philanthropy Leadership Collective

Body

Milken Institute Philanthropy has established the Philanthropy Leadership Collective (PLC), a collection of active learning communities that emphasize peer engagement and create a forum for sustained funder connections. The PLC convenes affinity groups for leaders who share specific interest areas or preferences for funding models, combining strengths and resources to achieve a vision of a better world.

Participating funders can mobilize talent, technology, and resources to maximize the impact of their own projects. Members of PLC affinity groups convene virtually and at Milken Institute flagship events, including Global Conference, the Future of Health Summit, and other regional summits and convenings.
