SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting - June 2026 - The Changing Landscape of Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:EVENT INFORMATION \nIn a moment shaped by shifting economic conditions\, evolving federal priorities\, and an increasing complexity of community needs; philanthropy is being called to adapt—quickly and thoughtfully. For leaders across Minnesota\, the intersection of public policy\, private sector investment\, and community need has never been more visible—or more consequential. \nThis conversation brings together three of Minnesota’s most influential philanthropic leaders to explore how foundations are responding to this moment. From navigating uncertainty in federal funding and regulatory direction\, to addressing growing needs across housing\, workforce\, and community health\, this panel will examine how philanthropy is evolving to remain responsive\, accountable\, and impactful. \nDesigned for the unique peer network of the Minnesota Women’s Economic Roundtable\, this discussion will offer candid insights on where philanthropy is heading\, how partnerships across sectors are shifting\, and what it means to lead with both urgency and intention in today’s climate. \nSPEAKER INFORMATION \n Susan Bass Roberts\, President\, Pohlad Family Foundation.
