About this Event

Southern funders and anyone involved in philanthropy are invited into a conversation that will further explore the concepts within A New Era of Philanthropy: Ten Practices to Transform Wealth Into a More Just and Sustainable Future by author Dimple Abichandani. In this gathering, we’ll ideate on how the practices and reflections in this book can apply to the Southern context. We’ll weave together stories from Southern funders facing challenging conditions, explore what a new era could look like for Southern philanthropy, and identify what needs to be true in order to achieve it.

The registration cost for this event is $30, which includes lunch and a copy of Dimple’s book.

Dimple Abichandani is a nationally recognized philanthropic leader, lawyer, advisor, and author of A New Era of Philanthropy: Ten Practices to Transform Wealth Into a More Just and Sustainable Future. Her work reimagines how philanthropy can meet this moment by shifting power and practice. Over the past two decades, Dimple has led and advised innovative funding institutions committed to justice and sustainability. Learn more at https://www.dimpleabichandani.com.

This conversation will be moderated by MDC’s Equity-Centered Philanthropy team, whose work focuses on moving more financial capital to and through communities equitably, and on reshaping narratives about the role and potential of philanthropy in the U.S. South. Learn more at https://mdcinc.org.
