GPC Lunch on New Forms of Collaboration for Sustainable Global Development
New York, United States, May 7, 2018
In an era of globalization where our cultures, economies and information intertwines, the challenges we are encountering are increasingly complex. Issues such as climate change, human trafficking and refugee crises are no longer contained to countries or regions. This presents an incredible opportunity for us as philanthropists to consider new forms of collaboration for a common future to tackle the world’s biggest challenges. This event includes a special presentation by GPC member Dr. Lu Dezhi on his thoughts on a collective sharing civilization, an interactive discussion with Peggy Dulany and Darren Walker from Ford Foundation, and insightful sharing by GPC member Mohamed Amersi.

 

GPC Latin America Day
New York, United States, May 7-8, 2018
Join us in taking a closer look at philanthropy and social issues through a regional perspective. This day is all about examining social initiatives in Latin America by understanding the context of its countries, engaging in lively conversation with experts through visiting Institutes and Foundations, as well as learning about the unique aspects and challenges of philanthropy in this part of the world. We will look at models for foundations, shown to us at on-site visits to EPIC and Rockefeller Foundation, in addition to discussing one of the most pressing issues in Latin America with Institute for Economics and Peace, Instituto Igarapé, and Open Society Foundations (to be confirmed): violence.
