READ MOREPhilanthropy offers people a chance to make a positive difference in the lives of others. But what about the people behind the charitable organizations who steer the commitment, ensure accountability, and manage donations? Cause driven philanthropy is the practice of thoughtfully and intentionally using our time, talents, and resources to give in ways that advance equity, effectiveness, and systems change. In order for this type of philanthropic business to run successfully, a team of community leaders needs to work together to build meaningful relationships that support care and inspire others.
Dick Vollet, President and CEO of St. Paul’s Foundation and member of CityU’s School of Business and Management Advisory Board, will present at CityU’s next SBM Speaker Series on May 25th. With over two decades of experience in leading charitable organizations, Dick will share his insights on how to inspire others to support your cause and how to make a profound and lasting difference in the community. He will speak on how to run an organization driven by donations and how to ensure that funds are equitably distributed. Dick will also be available for a Q&A Session with attendees.
