Value(s) for Money? Philanthropy as a Catalyst for Social Change (March 6-9, 2014)
Increasing social and environmental challenges, writ globally, are raising the stakes for philanthropy to find "solutions". The deeply complex nature of these challenges, however, defies easy fixes and requires more sophisticated and diffuse systems level approaches. Is the philanthropic sector ready, or capable of meeting critical systemic challenges? Probably not, as seen through the lens of Michael Edwards in a recent think piece entitled 'Beauty and the Beast: Can Money Ever Foster Social Transformation?'.
Innovative funding mechanisms that support social change - like crowd-funding, social impact bonds, payments for eco-system services and prize-backed challenges - have diversified the funding landscape and brought in new resources. The system, however, is arguably out of balance with too much focus placed on revenue-generation, and directing financial resources, through the market. At the same time, less funding is available for the deeper, less tangible drivers of social change - change that is driven by the beneficiaries themselves and is inherently more democratic. Money, while a seemingly essential tool in change processes, can be a "curse", reinforcing or exacerbating the very circumstances and power imbalances at the heart of systemic social challenges.
The objective of this program, in partnership with Hivos, is to shape a new narrative on funding for deep social change that can influence current and future funding trends and global policies.
This is a picture of the kitchen in my apartment and I like it because of the way the shadows give and take value. It is an led light strip lying at the base of the different objects, and as it lays shadows it projects different levels of value across the objects above and below my cupboards

The 2013 NOCs & Governments Summit bought together global oil and gas industry leaders, governments and regulators to debate how a resource holding country can create real in-country value. It took place in London, 28-30 October 2013. Held under the Chatham House Rule, this interactive Local Content summit will provided a unique platform for the Oil & Gas community to share best practices and Local Content initiatives in an open and honest environment.
