Global Philanthropy Forum

Both private and philanthropic capital has a role to play in spurring economic activity in developing economies, and producing not only economic, but social and environmental benefit. Panelists will focus on the ways that private capital—including risk-loving capital—can be deployed. And they will explore the ways and which investment capital and philanthropic grants can be combined. Finally, speakers will consider whether and how transparency and accountability can be assured.Annie Chen, Chair, RS GroupJed Emerson, Executive Vice President, ImpactAssetsLiesel Pritzker Simmons, Vice President and Director, Program Development,IDP Foundation, Inc.Ron Cordes, Co-founder, Cordes Foundation (m)
