Join us for AFP Brandywine Chapter’s Reshaping Philanthropy in the First State inspired by Dan Pallotta's thought-provoking TED Talk, "The Way We Think about Charity is Dead Wrong." This event aims to inspire critical reflection, foster cross-sector connections, and catalyze positive change within the philanthropic community. By challenging conventional wisdom and embracing the principles of trust-based philanthropy, we can collectively work toward a more equitable, resilient, and impactful social sector.

After viewing Pallotta’s 18-minute TED Talk together, panelists will explore key themes related to:

• Dismantling Systemic Barriers
• Embracing Innovation
• Building Trust
• Shifting Perspectives

Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a dynamic conversation that redefines the future of giving. Join us in shaping a more just and compassionate community through the power of trust-based philanthropy. Trust-based philanthropy prioritizes relationships, transparency, and shared power between funders and nonprofits, creating a culture where collaboration and trust drive impactful change. Together, let's rewrite the narrative of nonprofits and unleash the full potential of philanthropy to create lasting, transformative change.
