2024 November Headliners | State of Generosity and Philanthropy

The role of non-profits and foundations continues to evolve as our community evolves and new challenges emerge. The impact of philanthropy has become more important than ever, and the thought leadership that drives investment has, too.
 
We know that our region is generous in many different ways. What is the state of philanthropy in the greater Manatee County region and what are the trends?
 
Join us for an engaging discussion about giving and impact and why, as business leaders, we need to understand both the drivers of need and the case for philanthropic investment.

  Wendy Deming, Bishop Parker Foundation
  Jessica Muroff, United Way Suncoast
  Veronica Thames, Manatee Community Foundation
