Philanthropy Symposium 2026 Report!
The Philanthropy Symposium 2026 Report is now available, compiling key insights, reflections and questions brought together by the dynamic mix of thought leaders, philanthropists, corporate representatives, policymakers and academics.
Under the theme of Leadership, Learning and Legacy, the Symposium explored how to build better pathways into philanthropy and translate generosity into meaningful social impact. Through research presentations, panel discussions and shared experiences, speakers examined donor confidence, family philanthropy, intergenerational leadership, trust-based funding, collaboration and the role of evidence in driving change. The conversations highlighted the importance of stronger connections across the philanthropy ecosystem, more ambitious and collaborative approaches to giving, and long-term partnerships that enable communities to create lasting change.
