The Moonridge Foundation has announced an exciting speaker line-up for the 11th annual Philanthropy Leaders Summit taking place simultaneously in Las Vegas and in Reno on Friday, September 9. The Nevada-based philanthropy firm, Moonridge Group, is hosting the Summit and is aimed to “Innovate to Ignite” the spirit of philanthropy with charitable donations.
At this year’s event, the Nevada Corporate Giving Council (NCGC) will reveal the annual statistical report on the corporate giving landscape of Nevada to take a deeper look at what motivates corporate philanthropy and how it shapes the communities around us. An estimated $1.7 billion in corporate giving and $365.8 million in employee giving took place between 2019 and 2021, with the top giving categories being health and social services, K-12 education and Covid-19 relief efforts, while education, affordable housing, healthcare/mental health, homelessness/poverty and food insecurity remain top challenges in Nevada’s communities.
The Summit’s diverse philanthropic event speakers, selected by The Moonridge Foundation, will speak on how corporate funders can address these issues with strategies and best practices in giving to continue driving positive impact, while inspiring funders to continue engaging philanthropically with the efforts that resonate with their values.
Speakers confirmed to present are listed below:
