A New World of Impact: The Evolving Value of Philanthropy (Invite only)

-

As regions continue to grow economically and socially, critical gaps and unmet needs tend to emerge in tandem. In parallel, the philanthropic sector in Asia and beyond is adapting to this changing landscape by embracing innovative models and tools, along with impact-oriented resources. How are newer approaches such as impact investing and donor-advised funds enabling more targeted and effective giving in critical areas such as climate and health? Has technology been able to enhance impact, transparency, and accountability in philanthropic efforts? Or has it created other issues, such as privacy concerns? Our panelists will review means by which philanthropy can bring together governments, NGOs, and the private sector to drive meaningful systemic change across global markets.
