Abstract
This is a report on the Global Philanthropists Circle Spring 2008 Retreat, held in April at the Rockefeller Estate in Pocantico Hills.
Presenters included several GPC members and guest speakers. Member Greg Carr discussed his work in human rights and views on social justice, and member Mario Morino presented his approach to venture philanthropy.
A conversation with Michael Edwards, the author of Just Another Emperor: the Myths and Realities of Philanthrocapitalism, challenged the adoption of business-like approaches to address social issues.
A session on “High-Impact Philanthropy”was led by Martin Fisher, the CEO of KickStart International and Kevin Starr, the Director of the Rainer Arnhold Fellows program and authors of A Brief Guide to High-Impact Philanthropy. According to Fisher, large-scale, lasting change requires that projects have measureable and proven impacts, be cost-effective, sustainable and scalable.
