What Does ‘The Philanthropist’ Mean for Philanthropy? Join the Debate Tomorrow
July 20, 2009 | Read Time: 1 minute
On July 21, The Chronicle of Philanthropy and the Hudson Institute’s Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal will host a discussion about the NBC television series The Philanthropist.
The Chronicle’s new issue, posted today, has an opinion piece by the Bradley Center’s director, William A. Schambra, arguing that despite their dismissal of the series, philanthropy professionals might have something to learn from the television show.
If you’re in Washington tomorrow, join us for a lunch conversation featuring:
- Tom Fontana, who helped create the series
- Steve Gunderson, president of the Council on Foundations
- Sean Stannard-Stockton, who writes the Tactical Philanthropy column online and for the Chronicle’s print edition
- Ian Wilhelm, a Chronicle senior writer who has covered foundations for many years
Stacy Palmer, editor of The Chronicle, and William A. Schambra, director of the center, will co-moderate the session. For free registration and more details, go to the Hudson Institute’s Web site.
And if you’d like to send a question for Ms. Palmer to pose to the participants, send a message to editor@philanthropy.com or add your thoughts here.
