In the final months of 2024, Trump reclaimed the White House, the Assad regime fell, and the conflict in Palestine spread to Lebanon, then to Syria’s borders.

We need to act now. We can’t allow philanthropy to falter. Join us as we explore strategies to strengthen philanthropy, and help millions to rebuild their lives.
