Breaking the Mold Lunch Panel: Financing Change - How Philanthropy Shapes Social Progress
Registration
Registration is now closed (this event already took place).
Details
Ever considered a career in philanthropy or curious to know what that even means? Join alumni for a discussion around power, money, and driving social change through the $1 trillion philanthropy sector.
Often overlooked in discussions around social impact are the private institutional donors that provide an enormous share of the funding for nonprofits and other social sector organizations to do their work. From local and regional community foundations to global private foundations (think Gates or Rockefeller), the decisions around what to fund (and what not to fund) play a big part in driving social progress (or not).
Lunch will be provided.
Breaking the Mold is a 2-day conference that seeks to provide information and alumni networking opportunities for students interested in exploring or pursuing careers in the social sector.
