Opportunity Unlocked: Philanthropic and Financial Levers for Ending Gun Violence in the US (Invite only)

Wednesday, May 8, 2024
01:00 PM - 02:00 PM PDT

Join us for a closed-door conversation to discuss the gaps and opportunities for addressing gun violence in America. Gun violence affects every aspect of American society and economy and demands moonshot funding, bold new ideas, unwavering commitment, and collective action among philanthropic, private sector, government, and institutional stakeholders. In particular, there is significant opportunity for finance and business to play a greater role in preventing gun violence and leverage cross-sector expertise, influence and resources to advance breakthroughs at scale. This session delves into innovative approaches, courageous giving, and the collaborative spirit required to effect significant change on one of the nation's most pressing challenges.
