Philanthropy For Our Time
"...lasting and meaningful change only happens when people come together for a shared purpose, when they deliberate together, and when they act together, even when the future seems unknowable and the road uncertain."
- Marshall Ganz, Author, People, Power, Change: Organizing for Democratic Renewal
While the nonprofit sector is currently facing existential threats, foundations are grappling with how they can show up as reliable and trustworthy partners. It’s understood that philanthropy cannot possibly fill the gaps created by the structural changes occurring at the federal level, but the questions surrounding philanthropy's role and the impact of philanthropy's actions or inactions at this moment are critical. If foundations are to equip and partner with nonprofits and communities to mobilize with clarity and courage, what questions must be asked, and what adaptations must be made?
Join your Philanthropy New York community in person for a half-day of learning in service to action.
You will hear from talented thinkers and strategists who will help us make sense of how philanthropy needs to evolve our practices to meet this moment. Prepare to connect deeply with your sector colleagues through:
- peer exchanges,
- inspirational PhilTalks, and
- skill-building workshops.
