CHARITY AND PHILANTHROPY: MEETING FUTURE CHALLENGES

The Human Dimension
Panel Session
Courtyard No. 3, PEPSICO CAFÉ

With governments unable to effectively respond to every change taking place in modern societies, charities and philanthropists are pioneering new initiatives in education and preservation of cultural heritage. However, large-scale charitable objectives cannot be met without government support. How can charities, philanthropists, and the government better work together in education and cultural heritage preservation? What are some of the examples where joint coordination has resulted in successful projects? What economic and legal instruments might be introduced to encourage charity and philanthropy in Russia?
