In this video, Mr David Rockefeller talks about how philanthropy has evolved in the last century and how many new players have joined the giving movement. However, he says, the number of issues that philanthropy has to address has increased exponentially too. That is why “we need good ideas and we need good collaboration” to support this movement. “I hope we are entering a time when collaboration and empathy will be the stronger themes”, he concludes.
The Philanthropreneurship Forum explores the dynamics of creative philanthropy, and how its practice can catalyse entrepreneurialism, innovation and cross-sector collaboration to make gains in the fight against global challenges. The annual Forum brings together global leaders from philanthropy, development, academia, government and the private sector to critically examine how to achieve social impact, ensure sustainability and deliver scalable progress for communities around the world. The 2015 Philanthropreneurship Forum convened on December 12, 2015 in Versailles, France under the theme ‘New Frontiers of Philanthropy’.
