Speaking of the 2024 "Urban Development Philanthropy Forum" (hereinafter referred to as the "Forum"), things are really interesting.
The philanthropy field we have seen in recent years has really changed a lot. More and more companies, investment funds, and even governments have joined in, and everyone wants to contribute to social welfare.
Many companies are now very consciously aligning their goals with social development, hoping to have a positive impact on their communities.
This trend is really obvious. For example, in the financial field, impact investment has become more and more popular. From 2019 to 2022, private impact investment has soared by 63%. Especially in Asia, with the development of the economy and the rise of the new rich, new players are constantly pouring into the charity field.
In this context, philanthropy is charity, and it can be said to be the key lever to leverage influence.
However, for so many years, we have been facing a difficult problem: how to truly transform philanthropic efforts into visible, tangible, and sustainable influence.
Without a strong strategy and a clear understanding of what success looks like, these projects may not even achieve their goals, let alone make a significant difference to society.
So, what have we as a philanthropy community learned about planning, managing, and measuring impact that can help all stakeholders?
This forum aims to bring stakeholders from all fields together to aim for a common vision - positive impact.
It also aims to dig deeper to see how philanthropies define and ensure their impact through standardized management and rigorous evaluation.
The event will also explore the synergies between capital markets and philanthropy, exchange ideas and innovations in these fields, and strive to create a wider impact.
The theme of this forum is "Achieving Impactful Philanthropy in the Real World".
Through keynote speeches and panel discussions from leaders from various fields, as well as interactive sessions such as innovation demonstrations, participants will definitely go home with a lot of inspiration, practical insights and cutting-edge innovations to help them better achieve impact in the real world.
