Philanthropy 101 is a first-of-its-kind event in the region, crafted specifically for emerging leaders and early-career professionals who want to make a difference – but may not know where to start. The evening will feature a dynamic panel of local experts, including a philanthropist, a nonprofit leader, and a wealth advisor, offering real-world perspectives on the why, how, and impact of giving at any stage in life.

The discussion will be centered around three key themes:

• Defining Philanthropy – Challenging traditional assumptions and expanding what it means to give.
• How to Afford Philanthropy – Exploring accessible ways to give, no matter your income.
• How to Give as You Grow – Understanding how charitable habits and strategies can evolve over time.

In addition to the panel discussion, the evening will include a dedicated time for networking and meaningful connections among attendees – fostering relationships that support personal growth, community involvement, and shared values.
