AFP Educational Luncheon: December 4 at Thornblade
GAGE WEEKES of The Hollingsworth Funds
Join us on December 4 as Gage Weekes, Senior Vice President for Hollingsworth Funds discusses the current state of philanthropy in our community and the cultural shifts on the horizon that will change the way we approach solutions to complex social issues.
Gage will provide a rare window into the evolving mindset of funders in Greenville and the ever-present power dynamic between grantor and grantee. He will explore the disconnect between values and practice, the growing leadership deficit, the promise and challenge of Collective Impact, and new initiatives with potential for change.
Our missions rely on partnerships with our region's major funders. You do not want to miss this discussion...it just may change your development plans or approach for 2015.
