Fast Forward: Harnessing the Power of Philanthropy to Build a Better Tomorrow

Given the COVID crisis, PFC has postponed its Quebec City conference to October 2021. Instead, PFC is hosting a 2020 gathering on Attendify on November 17-19. By adapting to the new normal, this event will serve PFC members and the broader philanthropic community to pause, reflect, and plan ahead. For the very first time, PFC will offer a Young Professionals Pricing to encourage a new generation of change-makers to be part of the conversation today. The overarching themes of this 3-days programming will be as follows:

Day 1:

• In conversation with Senator Ratna Omidvar
