Strategic Philanthropy in the health arena - Addressing root causes, not symptoms

The health landscape in the hemisphere has become more complex as public funding shrinks and public policy debates escalate on issues concerning access, prevention, research, disease, and insurance. Global health issues dominate the headlines with rising concerns about pandemics, HIV/AIDS, obesity, malaria, and hunger, among other issues. In a purely quantitative sense, private philanthropy and volunteering will never be able to provide sufficient material and human resources to make a change in the health arena, because private philanthropy will always be too small. Nevertheless, philanthropy can play a significant qualitative role in fostering change as a catalyst, consensus builder, and change agent in health to address these issues from the general to the specific, from informing public policy to providing grassroots service delivery. Where can philanthropy be most effective? This session will explore key philanthropic activities that could significantly accelerate progress in the health arena in the region.

Introduced and moderated by: Bill Emmott, President, PODER Philanthropy Forum

Fame as Currency: How Celebrities and Moguls Trade Success for Global Change

Where Bono goes, cameras follow. The same applies to Angelina Jolie and Oprah Winfrey. Bono has been instrumental in raising awareness of global poverty and the AIDS epidemic with his ONE campaign, which has gotten stars such as George Clooney, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt on board. The environment has attracted the likes of Woody Harrelson, Josh Lucas and Leonardo DiCaprio. Others known for their charity work include Sarah Jessica Parker (UNICEF), Scarlett Johansson (USA Harvest, which provides food to the needy) and Robin Williams (Doctors Without Borders). Decades ago the late Audrey Hepburn campaigned for UNICEF; the late Bob Hope entertained the troops with the USO; Jerry Lewis’ Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon is in its 40th year; and Elizabeth Taylor, was one of the first stars to speak out about AIDS. Increasingly, celebs of all stripes find themselves under pressure to use their fame for a higher purpose. With the high-profile examples set by Jolie and Bono, a star's lack of charity work can become a liability. This session will analyze how media titans and celebs channel their prosperity and prominence to making the world a better place.

Media and Philanthropy

The ability to inform, connect and disseminate information about world needs places the media in a unique position when it comes to charitable involvement. On the one hand, it can serve as a powerful tool to inspire and inform potential donors about the most pressing causes. On the other, it has proved to be a valuable fundraising tool, reaching the masses and channeling the efforts of millions of people towards social endeavors. This session will explore the media’s power, and its responsibility as an agent of change.

Introduced and moderated by: Norman Pearlstine, Senior Advisor, Carlyle Group.

A Private Gift of Art to Inspire

In an act of colossal generosity, Fernando Botero made one of the biggest art donations in modern history in Latin America, forever transforming the city of Medellín, Colombia where Botero grew up, and elevating a gallery in the country’s capital, Bogotá, into an exceptional repository of impressionist and modern art. By giving his collection of paintings and sculptures – valued at around $200 million¬ – Botero not only transformed the art arena in Colombia but became an inspiring example by contributing to the betterment of the cultural sphere in a country where social and cultural philanthropy remain limited.

Presentation Program to Support the Heart of the World. Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

Introduction by: Peter Lehner, Executive Director, Natural Resources Defense Council

“Imagine a pyramid standing alone by the sea, each side a hundred miles long. It's a mountain, nearly four miles high.
In its folds, imagine every different climate on earth. This is the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. The people hidden there call the Sierra “The Heart of the World,” and themselves, “The Elder Brothers.” ––Mama Jacinto, Kogi

The world’s tallest coastal mountain range, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, rises from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, from its tempered seaside lands to its snowed-capped peaks. Its flora and fauna, much of which is exclusive to this part of world, form one of the world’s most unique ecosystems. Its inhabitants, some 50,000 indigenous people of four different ethnic groups – Kogi, Wiwa, Arhuaco and Kakuamo – are the descendants of the original inhabitants of this sacred land, the Tayronas. For them, this ancestral pyramid forms the center of the universe, and its health determines the health of our planet.

PODER is proud to host our “Big Brothers,” the “Mamas,” the guardians of this sacred land and protectors of the environment in their quest to raise awareness and the necessary funds to recover their ancestral land. The Territorial Council of Cabildos (Consejo Territorial de Cabildos-CTC) presents their effort to save one of the world’s most unique ecosystems, and their fight for the conservation of their familial traditions.

2:45 PM - 3:30 PM
High-Impact Education Philanthropy

The level of philanthropic giving to education in the U.S. is at an all-time high, yet there are instances in which the large amounts of money bestowed seem to have vanished into the system without leaving lasting results. The aim of this session is to provide an overview of the philanthropic donations that are making a difference for children. The session will give an overview of American education today, what is working and what is not in policy-driven reforms, and why private intervention is needed.

Opening remarks and moderated by: Anders Gyllenhaal, Executive Editor, Miami Herald

• Carla Sanger, President and CEO, LA’s Best
• Eduardo Padrón, President, Miami Dade College
• Roberto Hernández, Chairman, Banamex

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Immigrants: the unacknowledged philanthropists

A land of wealth is largely a land of immigrants. Whether it be Hispanics, Europeans, or Asians, achieving the modern “American Dream” for all is proving to be intrinsically tied to the need to connect wealth with purpose - with personal introspection and a clarification of values. Yet a paradox prevails in our societies: philanthropy in Latin America largely consists of an elite class giving back to established sources outside, principally to foreign university alumni networks; while Hispanic immigrants, those lacking opportunities in their own countries, are the ones to send back capital and directly invest “back home” by way of remittances.

Moderated by: Jorge Ramos, Anchor, Univision
