WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“Engaging in the Global Philanthropy Forum 2023 was a bracing experience that enabled us to interact with individuals from astonishingly varied origins. We strongly hold that the dialogues and relationships formed at the gathering have the capacity to create change-inducing collaborations.”
“We left buzzing with fresh ideas, a bunch of new contacts to connect with, and a strong feeling that together, we can really make a change in the world.”
“I really appreciated the chance to hear about funders' openness to a different way of giving---focused on local communities, DEI and trust based philanthropy. It made me more hopeful about possibilities for the years to come”
“I've attended several philanthropy conferences this year, and GPF is by far the most dynamic and cutting-edge in theme and topics.”
“The diversity represented - from the speakers to the workshops to the attendees - was amazing, and something I've not seen at other conferences”
