Beyond the Summit: Women and the Future of Philanthropy

As women increasingly shape philanthropic decision-making around the world, this gathering will bring together leading philanthropists, investors, and social impact leaders to examine how philanthropy can contribute to a more resilient, prosperous, and flourishing society. Together, participants will explore the role of philanthropy in addressing some of the defining social, economic, environmental, and civic challenges of our time.

Through conversations with philanthropists, thought leaders, and Stanford scholars, the convening will create space for reflection, dialogue, and learning across perspectives. Participants will engage with bold ideas, emerging approaches, and enduring questions about power, responsibility, leadership, and social change.

The Beyond the Summit Salon Series is an intimate, interactive forum where philanthropists and changemakers share ideas, exchange strategies, and explore actionable responses to today’s rapidly shifting philanthropic and nonprofit landscape. Designed in our signature Salon-style format, these gatherings create space for deeper dialogue, meaningful engagement, and continued connection between biennial Summit years.

Attendance is by invitation only. If you would like to nominate an attendee, email us at pacssummit@stanford.edu.
