Looking for insight into what foundations will be talking about this year? Take a look at the following announcement for the Private Foundation Summit set for September 17-18.
The Private Foundation Summit, sponsored by PESI Law & Accounting, will take place on September 17th and 18th in Seattle, WA. At the Summit, eleven of the nation's leading experts on private foundations will present effective solutions and ideas to cope with the additional demands and burdens of tough economic times!
The Private Foundation Summit will feature true thought leaders in philanthropy, including the Keynote speaker, Mr. Alex Friedman, CFO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Also featured is Mr. Matthew Bishop, Chief Business Writer, The Economist and co-author of Philanthrocapitalism: How the Rich Can Save the World. Matthew Bishop is looking forward to being a part of the Summit and stated, "As the problems facing society grow, private foundations are needed - and needed to be effective - more than ever."
Jody Blazek, CPA and co-author with Bruce Hopkins of Private Foundations: Tax Law and Compliance 3rd Edition, welcomes the resurgence of private foundations, as advisors and philanthropists realize the former advantages of donor advised funds and supporting organizations that were removed by the Pension Protection Act of 2006.
This two-day summit promises to be practical, innovative and insightful for private foundation leaders, payout and investment strategists, management and operations officers, grant makers, grantee assessors, accountants, attorneys and financial institutions. Faculty from The Gates Foundation, Clark Nuber, Blazek & Vetterling, Adler & Colvin, Foundation Source, Polsinelli Shughart, The Seattle Foundation, the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, and Davis, Wright and Tremaine, will present current issues and offer practical solutions for private foundations. They will address complex strategic issues confronting private foundations during these tough economic times.
The Private Foundation Summit offers a unique opportunity to learn, network and gain the needed tools to strategically propel private foundations forward. Jane Searing, shareholder of Clark Nuber commented, "This summit is one of a kind. It is a rare occurrence to have access to this level of private foundation thought leaders at one event."
