Upcoming SwatTalks:

“Personal Philanthropy in the Trump Era” with Jude O’Reilley ’94

JANUARY 13 AT 8 P.M. ET

As the United States prepares to embark on a second Trump presidency, what role can we play in building the world that we want to see for future generations? Now more than ever, many of us have an opportunity to use our time, talent, and treasure–our personal philanthropy–to help others in powerful new ways. Jude O’Reilley ’94 has some thoughts on how we might meet the moment. The former CEO of the nonprofit tech organization VolunteerMatch and leader of the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship, Jude has more than 25 years of experience in the philanthropic sector. Please join Jude for a conversation about the economics of giving, the benefits of service, and the need for governance in the nonprofit community.
