Global Philanthropy Forum
https://philanthropyforum.org/ At Global Philanthropy Forum (GPF) we are pushing the philanthropy sector forward, ensuring that it can deliver on its promise: to set the conditions for all to live healthy, thriving lives. We convene philanthropy leaders who are self-reflective, seeking innovative solutions, eager to hear from practitioners and frontline communities, willing to challenge the status quo, share knowledge and learnings (including failures), and quick to collaborate. Through thoughtful and cutting edge programming and purposeful connections, we aim to foster a community of leaders willing to do what it takes to make philanthropy ‘fit for purpose’ in our dynamic and rapidly changing world. We are a community with engaged leaders who are committed to building philanthropy for the 21st century – a new emerging world with different demands and needs. Through our members-only community, we curate content and provide timely thought leadership for our community. Our partners support through engagement, convening, and new development opportunities. Global Philanthropy Forum is a project of Commonwealth Club World Affairs.
