This program is hosted by our partner, Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP), who has extended an invitation to PNY members.
“Prediction, not narration, is the real test of our understanding of the world.”
― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
We live in a time of uncertainty. Our world is undergoing a transformative journey in an era of technological advancements and global challenges. Disasters are constant, as is the harm they cause. Funders must understand that a better future is possible.
In “The Black Swan,” Taleb challenges his readers not to look at past events, including disasters, to develop plans but to imagine what could be. As much as they may feel random at times, disasters have a level of predictability that allows funders to be strategic rather than reactive in their grantmaking.
One week after the federal election, join philanthropic futurist Trista Harris from FutureGood and CDP’s Chief Financial and Operation Officer, Brenda Camacho, for our last scheduled webinar of 2024. They will discuss where current trends are headed and how we can build the future we want to see for ourselves, our sector and our communities.
What will you learn?
At the end of this webinar, donors will:
- Develop a future-focused mindset for their work so they can adapt and thrive
- Learn a series of trends that will impact the fields of disasters and philanthropy
- Acquire practical tools and strategies for applying futurism in their day-to-day work
