How can philanthropy turn recent scrutiny, disruptions, and questions about how charitable organizations work into an opportunity to build a more responsive, modern sector—while safeguarding our independence and resilience?

Now is the time to imagine a more durable regulatory and policy framework that ensures philanthropy can continue the work of advancing the greater good for generations to come.

Through three distinct experiences, Shaping the Future will bring sector leaders together to debate bold ideas, explore possibilities, and develop recommendations for philanthropy’s future. Foundation leaders will examine how to modernize the regulatory framework governing philanthropy while strengthening our sector’s impact and independence.

Shaping the Future is a series specifically for philanthropy leaders who are energized by thoughtful debate and problem solving together. This is not your typical sit-and-listen; your voice and expertise about the sector are essential to the conversation.
