LAS VEGAS, Aug. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To expand community impact and corporate giving nationwide, Moonridge Foundation will virtually host the 10th annual Philanthropy Leaders Summit on Friday, September 17. In previous years, the Nevada-based summit was hosted in person as separate events in Reno and Las Vegas, however this year, the summit team, committees, and sponsors have joined forces to present one summit to bring together leaders across the state and expand across the country for the virtual affair. This year's theme, "United in Resilience," will focus on the philanthropic landscape on a greater scale by inviting corporate funders, family foundation leaders, and individual philanthropists to hear from dynamic speakers working on issues throughout Nevada and beyond.
From the global health crisis and the economic crisis that followed, to social justice movements, climate emergencies, widespread mental health issues and more, it is crucial now more than ever for funders to strengthen the impact of their giving strategies. For this, The Moonridge Foundation has selected a diverse portfolio of speakers to share about community impact, with efforts to inspire funders to continue engaging philanthropically with the efforts that resonate with their values.
Several of the speakers confirmed to present are listed alphabetically below:
- Jeremy Aguero, Founder and Principal Analyst, Applied Analysis
