From Strategic Philanthropy to Scalable Impact (Zurich Climate Week)

Join us for a conversation with leaders shaping the future of philanthropy & impact!
As public funding retreats, strategic philanthropy is increasingly called upon to evolve beyond traditional grant-making to scaling impact. And as global challenges grow in complexity, the focus is shifting toward deploying capital with greater intention, discipline, coordination and measurable outcomes.
This panel brings together leaders to explore how philanthropy can act as a catalyst—de-risking innovation, mobilizing additional capital, paving the way for scale, and accelerating what works. From cross-sector collaboration to data-driven decision-making, the discussion will highlight pathways to achieving impact at scale. Ultimately, it will examine how philanthropy can evolve from fragmented, siloed efforts to actions taken by a community of practice committed to driving lasting impact and systemic change.
Panelists:
Audrey Selian, Director, Artha Impact, Rianta Capital
Adelina Toader, Founder, Kapnest
Silvia Bastante de Unverhau, Founder, Braymont Philanthropy Advisory
