As we’ve mentioned previously, SFCG is convening a three-day conference on young philanthropy in New York city, called “Nexus: Global Youth Summit on Innovative Philanthropy and Social Entrepreneurship.” As part of the summit, participants were able to attend today’s High Level UN meeting on Youth and philanthropy, at which HRH Prince Fahad Al-Saud, of Saudi Arabia, acknowledged the work of SFCG President & Founder John Marks.
Today’s event, ” Giving it Back, Passing it on: Corporate Engagement and Youth Philanthropy as Pathways to Development, ” was organized by the UN Program on Youth in partnership with SFCG and Restless Development, as part of the UN International Year of Youth which began last August (2010) and encourages young people to dedicate themselves to fostering progress, including the attainment of the UN Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
