The Cleveland Foundation will host its first African American Philanthropy Summit this Saturday, April 24, 2010. The theme will be “Advancing African American Philanthropy: Building Tomorrow’s Legacy Today.”
One of the themes of the event is that you don't have to be wealthy to be a philanthropist. Being a philanthropist is not based solely on the level of wealth or the size of the gift. It’s really about individuals fulfilling their philanthropic intent by supporting a specific cause or organization of their choice.
The Philanthropy Summit will feature keynote speaker Earl Stafford , chairman and CEO of The Stafford Foundation , and presenters Kelly Chapman and Basheer Jones leading interactive discussions on planned giving, endowments, and wealth transfer.
The half-day African American Philanthropy Summit will be held at Cuyahoga Community College’s Corporate College East in Warrensville Heights. Registration is $40 for adults, $20 for youth (age 16-25), and $25 for the luncheon keynote session only. The Summit will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
