ENDOWMENTS 2018 FORUM
6 April 2018 the Vladimir Potanin Foundation and Moscow School of Management Skolkovo are holding the second annual forum ENDOWMENTS 2018.
The platform for endowments development discussion, sharing best practice and shaping the common agenda was initiated by the Vladimir Potanin Foundation and the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo in 2017, when the legislation regulating the activities of endowments in Russia celebrated its 10th anniversary. This year the agenda focuses on the main challenges, which organisations interested in establishing or development of endowments, have to deal with. Among issues for discussion there is the following:
- Risks and challenges: how to foresee and deal with them?
- The organizational structure: where is a place for the endowment?
- Legislative aspects: do we need new initiatives for sector development?
- New tools and solutions: what should be different in fundraising, communications and endowment management?
- Income distribution: where is the balance between current and future needs?
- Endowments in different non-profits: the uniqueness of the field or the universality of the experience?
- Managing companies: do we need to change the rules of the game?
The forum’s programme features Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation Richard Armstrong, Deputy Minister for Culture of the Russian Federation Alexander Zhuravskiy, Chief Research Fellow of Institute for Social Policy – Centre for Studies of Income Natalia Zubarevich, Director General of the President Grant Foundation Ilya Chukalin, Head of Department for Innovation Development, Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Artem Shadrin, Executive Director of the Fonds de dotation de l'ICOM (ICOM Endowment Fund) Bjorn Stenvers and many others.
This year the participants will have a unique opportunity to address experts with their questions in the ‘open microphone’ and ‘business speed dating’ formats. There will be possibilities for networking and informal communication.
The event will take place at Deworkacy space in Moscow, Bersenevskaya nab., 6, building 3, 6th floor.
