Benefits
​
Our program of events and online resources seek to inform, inspire and challenge those that attend so that their philanthropy can make a true difference in the world.
In addition to members-only events, public Roundtable events are offered to members at a discounted rate and include the opportunity to invite a guest to any event at the members admission price.
​
Our events include:
​
-
Forums where we gather together with renowned influencers for an evening to discuss a central theme relevant to those present. Past events have addressed a Christian's responsibility to care for the earth, the unique perspectives that women bring to philanthropy and how philanthropy influences a Christian presence in a post-Christian world.
-
Dinners where we explore the personal side of philanthropic work. Guided by leaders in relevant fields, members explore important themes through participating in facilitated discussions and the telling of stories.
​
-
Regional Roundtables that focus on practical matters and best practices related to philanthropy. Topics have included the transition of wealth and generosity within families, best practices in philanthropy, and sustainability and innovation in the charitable sector.
​
-
Pilgrimages for our members to open up the deeper opportunities that travelling together provides. Past events have included a retreat hosted by Father Richard Rohr at the Centre for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Future plans include an exploration of the Palestinian/Israel conflict with opportunity to meet with various organizations on both sides towards gaining a deeper understanding of challenges and opportunities that exist there.
Resources:
The Roundtable members will have exclusive access to the most compelling research available on the issues relevant to families involved in philanthropic work.
Our website provides member-only access to biweekly digest publication, blog posts from staff and guest contributors and regular book reviews. As well, through our relationships with partner organizations, we are able to provide philanthropic resources to our members often at a discounted rate.
