Breakfast & Opening Plenary - Successful Philanthropy for the Future: Challenging Our Assumptions About Giving to Lead Together

How can we help the philanthropy sector become more effective and inclusive? This plenary brings together foundation leaders and advocates who are challenging foundations to focus on power structures in society, address racial equity, and think differently in order to drive social change. From a variety of foundation types and ideologies, these leaders are innovating within their established institutions to work differently within and across sectors. They will discuss how new forms of philanthropy are shaping the future of the field and explore how traditional philanthropy can react and work within the evolving framework of giving required by the rapidly changing world.
