This conference has been organized by the Boston College Law School Forum on Philanthropy and the Public Good. The mission of the Forum is to provide a place for scholars, practitioners and policy makers to come together to deeply engage with the question of whether the rules governing the philanthropic sector best serve the public good. The Forum on Philanthropy is committed to a strongly non-partisan approach to this work.
The work of the Forum on Philanthropy and the Public Good is supported by a diverse consortium of funders, including: the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Atlantic Philanthropies, the David Bohnett Foundation, the Barr Foundation, the Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Foundation, Inc., the Chicago Community Trust, the Andrea & Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta and a generous donor who has chosen to remain anonymous. The Forum is deeply grateful for this support.
