The IPASA Annual Philanthropy Symposium is a unique annual event exclusively for grant-makers, focused specifically on the issues and opportunities relevant to funders in South Africa. This symposium provides an ideal platform for funders to connect, learn, share, and find opportunities to collaborate.
Amidst the backdrop of increasing uncertainty and ever evolving challenges, the role of philanthropy in shaping the future has never been more critical. In a world where the future remains unpredictable, it is essential for philanthropy to embrace new perspectives, foster innovation, and remain open to emerging possibilities.
With this vision in mind, the 2023 IPASA Annual Philanthropy Symposium 2023 will serve as a platform to delve deep into the theme of Bold Philanthropy, facilitating courageous conversations and encouraging bold leadership to drive transformative action. The Symposium will offer delegates the opportunity to:
– Explore Bold thinking – enabling paradigm shifts, and embracing the boldness to acknowledge and respond to an uncertain future.
– Embody Boldness in practice – to disrupt the status quo and test new ideas.
The symposium will include presentations, panel discussions and facilitated break-away sessions looking at both funding priorities and funding practices including:
– How do we practice philanthropy better to meet the current challenges?
– How do we collaborate better to more impactfully address the challenges we face?
– How do we empower bold leadership in philanthropy?
– How do we embrace risk, uncertainty and a willingness to experiment in tackling these challenges?
The 2023 Symposium will bring together a diverse community of philanthropic visionaries, trailblazers, and changemakers who share a common goal: to shape the future of independent philanthropy.
