FORUM 2019: Breaking Patterns May 14th, 2019 | 7:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
 
WE CAN SEE IT ...
Everywhere we look — across every sector and every industry — there’s evidence that the old ways of doing things are crumbling.
WE CAN FEEL IT ...
Damaging patterns behind traditional power dynamics that have guided institutional structures for centuries are beginning to break.
In philanthropy, nonprofit funding models are becoming more decentralized and more democratic than ever. As nonprofits better share financial and governance decision-making with the communities impacted by their work, this inversion of power and depth of meaningful relationships is transforming the sector.
