Talking Philanthropy was first conceptualised in 2016 when we identified the need for a thought leadership forum that would tackle the key issues of the philanthropic sector.

The uniqueness of Talking Philanthropy stems from Global Philanthropic’s ability to convene world-leading philanthropists, academics, non-profit leaders, and policymakers in an environment that fosters open dialogue and builds lasting networks.

The format of Talking Philanthropy, designed and facilitated by Global Philanthropic members, fosters problem-solving and encourages innovation and creative ideas. Speakers and attendees identify challenges and discuss solutions through talks, panels, workshops, and Q&A sessions.

Talking Philanthropy provides an opportunity for participants to take time to think beyond the day-to-day of their work, reflect on the sector and how it impacts the world.
