Before Covid-19, the Day of Philanthropy was just that a day. Now, with the S.F.-based Jewish Community Federation’s annual event coming around during the pandemic, why not expand it to several days? Why not put it online and open it up to anyone? Why not make it free?
Organizers answered those questions with a resounding “Sure, why not?”
So this year, the Day of Philanthropy will consist of seven separate online events running from January through March, and each will indeed be free to one and all.
The “Day of Philanthropy Festival” series will kick off Jan. 15 with a presentation from epidemiologist Dr. Larry Brilliant on maximizing community resilience during the pandemic, and it will end March 10 with a keynote speech from former Rockefeller Foundation president Judith Rodin on building a more just world through philanthropy.
