CEP2023 - Crafting Social Change: Philanthropy’s Toolbox

Speakers: Jen Vorse Wilka, YouthTruth (introducer) | Jacob Harold, Author, Co-founder of Candid.

Social change is complex and difficult. Leaders often default to using the tools they know best, or those which feel most readily available, to pursue their goals. But to be effective, leaders need to utilize a range of tools based on the context and moment in which they find themselves. In his essential new book, “The Toolbox: Strategies for Crafting Social Impact,” Jacob Harold helps leaders understand the necessary tools to affect change - from storytelling to mathematical modeling to design thinking to community organizing - and how and when to deploy them. Bring your questions - in a highly interactive session that will draw on inspiring stories of leaders pushing successfully for social change, Harold will help philanthropic leaders and donors learn how to maximize their chances of success.
