November is Philanthropy Month. To mark it, the Foundation of Greater Montr\u00e9al is teaming up with\u00a0Institut Mallet<\/a> to hold two panels on the role philanthropy can play in the post-pandemic recovery, as well as in the pursuit of the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals. And, let\u2019s not forget, the deadline for achieving those goals \u2500 2030 \u2500 is approaching fast!<\/p>\n On several fronts, the Greater Montr\u00e9al community has a duty to act quickly and decisively. The ecological transition, the fight against poverty and inequality, or the battle against exclusion and systemic discrimination cannot wait. The Foundation of Greater Montr\u00e9al wants to keep the conversation going on the issues and challenges we need to take on collectively, and along with the publication of our most recent edition of the Vital Signs<\/a>\u00a0report, which set out some very clear findings, this is one more way for us to stimulate this important discussion.<\/p>\n These\u00a0virtual panels, on November 5 and November 12<\/a>, will tackle the themes \u00ab\u00a0For an inclusive recovery\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0For a sustainable economy\u00a0\u00bb. They will allow the leaders of tomorrow \u2013 the same ones featured in our\u00a02020 Vital Signs of Greater Montr\u00e9al report<\/a> \u2013 to bring forward their visions for the next decade and to explain to us what the needs, and the innovative projects, are in their respective sectors. I will have the privilege of being the moderator for these exchanges. I hope you can join us; the discussions promise to be both candid and inspiring.<\/p>\n These two panels allowed tomorrow\u2019s leaders to expose their visions and projects for the upcoming decade. They also discussed the role of philanthropy as an actor of change and resilience-building in the upcoming recovery and pursuit of the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals. To celebrate Philanthropy Month and watch – or rewatch – these motivating exchanges, look no further:<\/p>\nUpdate: The panels’ recordings are now available!<\/h4>\n
