Wealth & Giving Forum

We encourage greater and more effective deployment of capital in philanthropic and socially-oriented investments to create positive outcomes and to build the community of philanthropic change-makers.

Wealth & Giving Forum ("W&GF" or "The Forum") was founded in 2003 to promote greater generosity among individuals and families of significant means with respect to their philanthropy and socially responsible investing. Through its annual gatherings, topical symposia and communiqués, the Forum offers members of its community thoughtful peer-to-peer exchanges of ideas and practices on aligning wealth allocation with one’s values.

The Forum is directed by wealth holders who want to discern for themselves and help inspire others about the best way to deploy their resources. It provides a unique opportunity for an exchange of ideas among families who are dedicated to making intelligent decisions about their philanthropy. It is for experienced donors who seek to accelerate and optimize their own giving and emerging donors who wish to embark on the noble journey of using their wealth to make a difference.
