About this event

Join us for a virtual meet & greet (11:30) followed by a fireside chat + Q&A (12–1) exploring today’s most pressing ethical questions in philanthropy. Panelists Lucia Hicks Williams, Amanda “Proth” Prothero, and Dr. Kai Two Feathers Orton will discuss consent-based storytelling, donor intent vs. organizational autonomy, AI and innovation, and more.

Together, we’ll dig into the ethical dilemmas shaping today’s philanthropic landscape:

  • Consent-based storytelling & data use
  • Donor intent vs. organizational autonomy
  • Power imbalances in donor relationships
  • National vs. local fundraising tensions
  • AI, innovation, and the future of ethical fundraising

This session is an invitation to wrestle with the real challenges of our sector and uncover new ways to lead with transparency, curiosity, and care.

Bring your questions, your voice, and your perspective. This virtual interaction is a must attend.
