A special program convened by the 2015 Young Leaders Breakfast Club cohort.

If you had $1 billion to start your own foundation, how would you strategically use your resources to accomplish your mission? 

Would you:

  • Weigh the trade-offs between making general operating versus programmatic support? 
  • Consider the strengths and challenges of participatory grantmaking?  
  • Source promising ideas for funding? 
  • Ensure that your values align with your strategic choices and grantmaking practices? 
 
Join us for a highly interactive session organized by members of the Young Leaders Breakfast Club. Participate in a discussion and exchange on balancing the above strategic options to inform your decision-making within the philanthropic sector.

Explore:

  • Current debates in grantmaking strategy and what approaches might be most effective given your mission
  • Different modes of sourcing promising ideas for funding
  • Your values as a grantmaker and how those values are expressed through your work
