Philanthropic Leadership: Visions and Strategies

June 15, 2004

H. Peter Karoff chairman, founder, The Philanthropic Initiative

Emmett D. Carson president, CEO, The Minneapolis Foundation

Peter Goldberg president, CEO, Alliance Children and Families

Michele Brown director, N Region, Fleet Char Asset Division

Chad P. Wick president, CEO, KnowledgeWorks Foundation

A group of experts discusses the issues involved and the various strategies employed by grantors and explores the meaning of philanthropic leadership.

How does philanthropy enable powerful visions to become practical strategies for leadership? How can philanthropy become a truly moral leader in the affairs of the world in which we live? Why has philanthropy failed, too often, to take on needed leadership to move an issue forward? What are the real world implications of these questions for donors and trustees as well as foundation CEOs and professional staff?
