Description
From philanthropy and endowments to the next generation of donors, this session asks what financial resilience will genuinely require over the next decade - and how organisations build a future that is less dependent and more sustainable.
How do we make philanthropy work harder and more strategically across the sector? And how do organisations without significant reserves begin to build long-term structural resilience?
