Global Philanthropy Forum

Modern-day philanthropists are redefining the field to encompass all private means of financing positive social change. Panelists will include a corporate CEO from Nigeria, a Member of Parliament from Singapore, and a philanthropist from Brazil with afamily foundation—dynamic leaders solving problems and contributing to positive outcomes for the societies in which they live and far beyond. Whether it be to put their company to the service of social goals, to connect the public and civic sectors, or to devise strategic grantmaking programs, these leaders for change are having a profound impact in new ways. In the process they are changing both the definition and the practice of philanthropy.Special Address: Tony Elumelu, Heirs Holdings Limited; Founder, The Tony Elumelu FoundationCarol Civita, Philanthropist, Victor Civita FoundationLaurence Lien, Member of Parliament, Singapore; Chairman, Lien FoundationMark Kramer, Co-founder and Managing Director, FSG (m)
