What Role Should Philanthropy Play in U.S. Democracy?

Host Organization: Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy

About

In times of increasing political polarization, distrust of government and record low levels of public confidence in Congress, what role can (and should) philanthropy play in American democracy? How can it be used as a tool for civic engagement? Can philanthropy help advance liberal democracy and pluralistic civil society? What challenges might philanthropy face and/or create in this effort?

Join us for an exciting and pertinent discussion with a panel of leading foundations and philanthropy experts highlighting the ways organized philanthropy is working in this space.
