New York is more than a high-energy business center and cultural melting pot. It’s also a major hub for the international development community, thanks in large part to the United Nations and a host of philanthropies that have taken root on the island of Manhattan.
Each September, world leaders, advocates and social entrepreneurs descend on the city for a series of high-level meetings anchored by the U.N. General Assembly and the Clinton Global Initiative. At these gatherings as well as dozens of side events, networking receptions and cocktail hours, funding pledges are being unveiled, partnership deals struck and campaigns hashed out.
