Public-Private Partnerships: A Conversation with Ralph Smith on the Evolving Role of Philanthropy

The meeting is open to Washington Grantmakers members only. Please note: A government-issued photo ID will be required for all attendees to enter the World Bank.

New large-scale federal programs such as Promise Neighborhoods and the Social Innovation Fund are challenging conventional thinking about public-private partnerships. How are these partnerships evolving, and what does this mean for local philanthropy? And, how will our communities be affected when the federal funding for these programs is no longer available?

Join us for a conversation with Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Ralph Smith. As part of President Obama's advisory committee on philanthropy, Smith will brief our funding community on these and other related trends in philanthropy.
