The Modern Philanthropy Exchange, 16 September 2014
The purpose of the meeting is to bring together women philanthropists who, as studies have shown, are best poised and capable of challenging the root causes of injustice and social inequality in our community. Participants in the meeting will learn about recent trends in philanthropy in the US and Vietnam; they will have an opportunity to exchange ideas about giving in different contexts and cultures; and contribute to an early discussion on how to support a community that wants to make a larger impact with their giving activities.
