Following a successful inaugural forum at UNGA 80 in September 2025, Diplomatic Courier is convening the second of five forums on the future of philanthropy. Ahead of the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos, this forum will bring together a select, high-level group in Zurich, Switzerland exploring a bold question:
How can philanthropy evolve from filling gaps to truly co-building systems?
With traditional philanthropy evolving in response to a changing world, a new generation of capital that seeks to move beyond charity and toward structural transformation is emerging. Our Future of Philanthropy series aims to help that new generation of capital arrive well.
This salon-style roundtable will convene visionary investors, foundation heads, and next-generation philanthropists to examine how purpose-driven capital can become a strategic lever for systems change, funding not only projects, but the infrastructures of human progress. Through curated conversation and shared insight, guests will exchange ideas on how to bridge sectors, scale trust, and build regenerative models of prosperity that endure beyond 2030.
