Annual Meeting

2011 Annual Meeting, October 27-29

From economic stagnation to wars around the world, and from political gridlock to environmental restoration, America faces a wide range of pressing challenges. Philanthropists strive to meet these challenges head-on, but there is healthy and vigorous debate about exactly how to do so. The 20th Annual Meeting of The Philanthropy Roundtable brought together some of our nation's brightest minds and most inspiring leaders to explore how your private independent giving can—and does—solve America's greatest challenges.
