2025 Global Philanthropy
Leaders Summit
2025 Leaders Summit
The 2025 Global Philanthropy Leaders Summit brings together senior leaders and decision-makers across the global philanthropy landscape, as well as key stakeholders from a range of sectors, to explore the theme: "Embracing Risk."
In an era marked by growing complexity, uncertainty and unprecedented challenges, philanthropy has a critical role to play in shaping positive, lasting change. This summit will focus on how taking bold, strategic risks can drive innovation, unlock new pathways to impact, and transform the way we think about giving, investing, and tackling the world’s most urgent issues.
The theme "Embracing Risk" invites participants to re-imagine and re-conceptualize how we define and approach risk in philanthropy. It will challenge us to think beyond traditional risk-aversion and cultivate a culture that encourages bold decision-making for lasting, transformative impact. Through a series of dynamic sessions, we will explore how philanthropy can navigate complexity to champion and create a vision for a positive alternative narrative to the current ‘polycrisis.’
Against this backdrop, attendees of this year’s Leaders Summit, will walk away with:
Concrete strategies, frameworks for embracing risk and creating impactful change,
New partnerships and collaborations especially cross-sector and cross-border
New thinking towards more bold, adaptive leadership.
