FRORIEP and Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. are launching their “Lunch with Purpose – Webinar Series 2021” which will take place regularly over the coming months and where we take a close look at some of the new trends and hot topics shaping the fast-evolving sector of philanthropy.

As the coronavirus pandemic threatens to permanently change the world as we know it, philanthropic funders and charitable foundations have an opportunity to step up and help mitigate its effects on public health and the economy. Moreover, the philanthropic sector is marked by important shifts such as technology transparency, digital engagement, and longer-term, strategic partnership models that have a lasting impact on the way foundations operate. In the first session, we will explore what these global trends are and how they affect this industry to help you navigate in this fast-changing environment.

The first episode will take place on Tuesday, 25 May 2021, at 12:30 p.m. A lively panel discussion with three professionals participating in this transformation, Silvia Bastante de Unverhau, Chief Philanthropy Officer at Co-Impact, Leila Zakhem, Founder and CEO at Full Impact Advisory, and Eric Berseth, CEO and Managing Partner at Philanthropy Advisors. The panel will be moderated by Keyvan Ghavami, Competence Center Charitable Foundations at Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd.
