The International Grantmaking Symposium is now in its 7th year!
In 2022, philanthropists face a set of challenges, emergencies, and dynamics that make our work more difficult – but also more critical – than ever before. The effects of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, economic hardships and cost-of-living crisis, a rapidly-changing climate, and a devastating war in Ukraine have created new problems for international grantmakers to solve.
In this challenging context, CAF America’s International Grantmaking Symposium (IGS) returns in our seventh year to address the most pressing questions facing philanthropists today:
- How can grantmakers in the United States best manage the risk and regulatory requirements of supporting vulnerable people in regions with high volatility?
- As the world’s climate changes, how can funders implement effective natural disaster response programs on a global scale?
- How can corporations engage their employees in their philanthropic responses to emergencies in a way that maximizes buy-in and impact?
- How can funders committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion mainstream those values across their philanthropic giving strategies?
- What is most needed to strengthen the global charity sector and safeguard the support services that billions of people rely on daily?
We invite you to attend this year’s IGS, a hybrid event where delegates can participate either online or in-person in Alexandria, VA, on November 1 and 2, 2022. Additional details are available at igsymposium.org.
