A Philanthropy for Our Times: Reimagining Purpose and Practice in a New Era

In an era of overlapping crises, philanthropy must evolve—not just in practice, but in purpose. How can funders move beyond outdated models to meet this moment with courage, accountability, and impact?

Dimple Abichandani, author of A New Era of Philanthropy: Ten Practices to Transform Wealth Into a More Just and Sustainable Future, and Nick Tedesco, President & CEO of the National Center for Family Philanthropy, will explore how philanthropy can move from reinforcing the status quo to transforming systems, shifting power, and redistributing wealth. Through real-world examples, they will highlight bold governance and grantmaking practices that help build a more just future and offer practical guidance for funders to move in solidarity to meet this moment.
