Future of Philanthropy Forum

Giving Wisely: Financing a Future Where Every Child Can Learn.

The Future of Philanthropy Forum, UNGA 80 Edition, will convene global education leaders, philanthropists, private sector investors, members of family offices, and development experts to explore how smarter, collaborative, and innovative giving can accelerate progress toward SDG 4-Quality Education for All.

Amid shrinking aid budgets and stretched public resources, philanthropy must evolve from gap-filler to co-architect, investing in evidence-based interventions, community-led solutions, and system-strengthening initiatives that ensure inclusive learning opportunities for all.

Through an interactive roundtable discussion, this forum will reimagine the role of private capital in public good, showcasing bold strategies and innovative financing models capable of transforming education outcomes globally.
