Talking Philanthropy is a unique event fostering collaboration and innovation in philanthropy. Speakers and attendees identify challenges and discuss solutions through talks, panels, workshops, and Q&A sessions.
Talking Philanthropy provides an opportunity for participants to take time to think beyond the day-to-day of their work, reflect on the sector and how it impacts the world. In fewer than five years it has become a leading global event in part due to Global Philanthropic’s ability to convene leading philanthropists, academics, non-profit leaders, and policymakers in an environment that fosters open dialogue and builds lasting networks.

The latest Talking Philanthropy: Asia Pacific: Supporting a Philanthropic Ecosystem
Co-hosted in Singapore and Cambridge, UK
The most recent event was held on 14th May 2021 and jointly hosted by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at The University of Singapore and The University of Cambridge Judge Business School. It was a multi-regional, hybrid, virtual event, bringing together live gatherings in different regions across the world, as well as online participants.
Specifically focussing on health, environment and education, the 2021 event looked at wealth distribution and the dramatic growth of ultra-high net worth individuals (HNWI) in the Asia/Pacific region, the roles of development organisations, NGOs, governments, philanthropists, and the charity sector in nurturing the philanthropic ecosystem.
