How do we inspire donors to give commensurate with their wealth? What can we do to educate donors on the need to fund programs and solutions identified by communities of color? How can we guide donors to support policy and systems changes to undo institutional racism?
Join us for a conversation to learn how we as nonprofit professionals can partner with our donors to achieve a new paradigm for philanthropy. A networking hour will follow.

SPEAKERS
Alan S. Davis, President, The Leonard and Sophie Davis Fund
Alan S. Davis has been a travel writer, a tax policy expert, founder of a fine recycled paper distribution company, and now serves as President of the Leonard and Sophie Davis Fund, a private foundation, and Director of the WhyNot Initiative, its social justice program. His latest endeavor is challenging the philanthropy status quo by launching the Crisis Charitable Commitment, a call for private foundations, donor advised fund holders, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to commit to increase their level of charitable contributions, as a percentage of assets, with the goal to double the amount of money going to nonprofit organizations during these most challenging times.
