This year's Aspen Philanthropy Group meeting focuses on some of the major substantive and procedural issues being talked about in philanthropy circles and those that APG members are currently focused on. These issues will be discussed within the context of philanthropy's role in our current social contract - our relationship with the State and with our fellow citizens. What role can philanthropy play in an ever-changing and increasingly polarized world? APG members will consider this question as they dive into specific program areas and consider existing tools that can be utilized to help solve societal problems.
