Thurs 31, 9am – 5pm: The 6th African Philanthropy Conference (APC), hosted by the John D. Gerhart Centre for Philanthropy, Civic Engagement, and Responsible Business at Onsi Sawiris School of Business at the AUC.
This year’s theme, “Sustainable Financing for Development in the Majority World,” will explore how Africa can lead its own development financing future through decolonized, ethical, and inclusive funding models. As traditional aid flows become unpredictable, the 6th APC will explore strategies for building ethical, resilient, and inclusive financing systems that reflect African priorities, values, and realities.
The conference will feature panel discussions, plenary sessions, academic workshops, exhibitions, and the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring exceptional contributions to African philanthropy. The panel discussions will explore critical themes, including decolonized funding structures and ethical financing practices, gender-responsive financing for development, diaspora and remittance-based models and the role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics in philanthropy.
