REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — All too often, learnings at foundations end up in file cabinets, guiding the grant-making of these institutions, but not informing others beyond that.
For the past 18 years, the Global Philanthropy Forum has worked to change that dynamic by providing opportunities for peer learning between philanthropists.
“Everyone in this room and on this stage is part of a knowledge marketplace when it comes to the practice of philanthropy,” Jane Wales, founding president of the organization, said at the annual conference last week.
