A new breed of philanthropic leader is emerging among high net worth donors, foundations and corporations: the Catalytic Philanthropist (see cover article, Fall 09 Stanford Social Innovation Review). These innovative funders don't just give away money--they solve social problems, and they deliver the kind of impact that many others aspire to.

Siebel, Aviv, and Kramer engaged in a lively discussion highlighting both the funder and nonprofit perspectives about the practice and practical aspects of applying catalytic philanthropy in the real world. The discussion compared catalytic philanthropy with conventional and venture philanthropy, and provided real-world examples and case studies, with audience questions at the end.
