My experience at the Innovations in International Philanthropy Symposium elicited a wide range of emotions and responses. On the one hand, I experienced overwhelming feelings of frustration and powerlessness in the face of the collapse of global generosity, climate calamity, and deepening inequity and intolerance. On the other hand, a soaring sense of community, hope and possibility embodied in the changemakers and the potential of philanthropy to make real change happen.
