The New
Government-Philanthropy Complex:
A Report Card?
This luncheon panel discussion looked at the
effectiveness of the Obama Administration's new
public-private initiatives to boost the strength of
the nonprofit and social advocacy sectors and use
new media to 'wire' government for increased citizen
participation and social innovation.
Panelists debated: How well are these "open
government" initiatives working? Are foundations,
nonprofits, and social enterprises benefiting
significantly from new citizen-led projects?
What new opportunities exist for advocates of "eGovernment" and for
nonprofits to tap public funds?
Hosted by
The George H. Heyman Center for Philanthropy and
Fundraising at the
NYU School of
Continuing and Professional Studies, the
series features national leaders in philanthropy
innovation debating disruptive changes in the
sector, including the latest influences of social
media, cause video, the social enterprise movement,
and mobile fundraising.
