Course Overview

• What is an ‘Ego Economy’? What drives philanthropy? Are we truly giving for impact? Angela Campbell dismantles our understanding of charitable giving and invites us to consider that doing what feels good isn’t necessary always what is good. This highly informative talk will leave you with a fresh new perspective on how we think about giving.
