We’re very much hoping that this year’s conference is the first event of what becomes an annual gathering: a collective space to keep us focused on new frontiers in funding and investment practices. We want to keep asking: what is needed in these times from the worlds of philanthropy and investment? How can we play our part in speeding up the transition towards a more equitable, regenerative future, where people and planet thrive?
We hope you will be inspired and challenged by what you hear over the two days. Please treat it as an opportunity to step back from the day job and to think really deeply about the ways in which philanthropy and investment might be propping up unhelpful aspects of our current systems. What might the world look like if that weren’t the case? What needs to change to get us there?
We have built this site to help you deepen your learning, and to dig deeper into particular themes and questions that particularly interest you. Follow the links to find out more about the work that’s being led by our chairs and panellists, and to find out about other related work we’ve not been able to platform. We have also included some prompt questions to help you reflect on the meaning of all of this for your own contexts.
If you’re new to this topic, and would like to understand more about the reason we convened the conference in the first place, check out the blog we shared to kick things off.
