Charitable giving has stabilized but continues to fall short of pre-crisis levels. Government resources have diminished, too, and nonprofits struggle to serve their communities. Join the White House Director of Social Innovation and Civic Engagement for a frank discussion of new initiatives that embrace public-private-philanthropic partnerships. These strategies could open up new channels of capital and direct them into solutions for the nation's most pressing social, economic, environmental and health challenges.
