But traditional philanthropic narratives rely so heavily on crises, pity, and fear that they reliably engender resentment, devaluation, and underinvestment in the children, families, and communities that you serve. Yet too many foundations cling to these aged and counterproductive narratives simply because they’re unaware of the far more effective modern alternatives that don’t stigmatize.

The Next Narrative Summit showcases replicable ways that peer philanthropies are successfully raising billions for equitable causes, changing public will, uniting opposing groups, and winning historic policy victories without relying on fear and stigma.

The Next Narrative Summit will reunite 150 select foundation leaders and their communications strategists known for shifting paradigms so that they may learn from, inspire, and partner with each other to build more caring and prosperous futures.
