Philanthropic Investors Forum | Philanthropy at an Inflection Point (Invite only)

-

This conversation will bring together some of the world’s most influential philanthropic institutions to examine how philanthropies can protect their ability to operate—where they’re most vulnerable, and how to sustain trust and legitimacy. Our speakers will highlight new partnership models beyond traditional grantmaking, including how to engage more effectively across foundations, families, and individual philanthropists. The discussion will include candid reflections on big bets—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how those experiences are shaping strategy going forward.
