Philanthropy has long played a critical role in America, filling in where government has left gaps. But by nature, philanthropy has often served the status quo, rather than addressing problems at their roots. As deep inequality and injustice persist, what will it take for philanthropy to help catalyze more fundamental and lasting systems change? As distrust in institutions becomes a widespread norm, how can institutional grantmakers innovate to make the exercise of philanthropy truly participatory?
This conversation was part of the 2022 Aspen Ideas Festival.
Speakers:
Jane Wales, Vice President of Philanthropy and Society, Executive Director, Program on Philanthropy and Social Innovation, Aspen Institute; Founder and CEO, Global Philanthropy Forum
Rodney Foxworth, CEO, Common Future
Caryl Stern, Executive Director, Walton Family Foundation
Jen Ford Reedy, President, Bush Foundation
