The Next Generation Philanthropy Forum

Building a more prosperous world requires strategy and focus on the next generation to increase philanthropic giving, improve advocacy and promote relationship-based social entrepreneurship. Over the past decade social networking websites and other new media tools have changed the way people, especially youth, communicate, relate and become civically active. At the same time, innovations in philanthropy that emphasize business approaches, entrepreneurship and high impact are inspiring to young people. The goal of the Forum is to highlight these new trends and understand how they can best be promoted to mobilize youth as individuals, organizations or social movements and to improve their effectiveness as change agents.

The entire event will be available to view online.
