In 2023, we will mark the official halfway point of the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which have grown to play an essential role in guiding international philanthropy. The SDGs emphasize the interconnected nature of progress and development; during this year’s International Grantmaking Symposium, we will engage funders and philanthropists in debate and conversation around how philanthropy in the US can support global progress.
The Eighth Annual International Grantmaking Symposium (IGS) will convene corporate and private foundations, practitioners, philanthropists, advisors, and attorneys dedicated to advancing global philanthropy and will be an opportunity for stakeholders to share best practices and guidance on the latest rules and regulations governing cross-border giving.
IGS 2023 will feature leading experts in a series of presentations, panel discussions and workshops focused on the fundamentals of international grantmaking and trends in the international development space.
- Topics covering grantmaking fundamentals will include sessions such as compliance and risk mitigation, approving foreign grantees to receive funding, and updated best practices and regulations to consider when planning an international giving strategy.
- Significant trends in international development will also be explored, such as financing for the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the role of localization in humanitarianism and development, and disaster and crisis response.
The full agenda and speakers list will be announced soon; please view our concept note for an overview of the themes that will guide our sessions.
