The Shed that Fed 2 Million Children
From a small shed in Northern Scotland, one man started a movement and inspired tens of thousands of people across the world to join him in putting an end to child hunger.
Today, Mary’s Meals is an International organization providing a daily meal to over 2 million children in their place of education in 20 countries across the world.
Join our fireside chat with Mary's Meals Founder and CEO, Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow and Director of Communications, Kirsten Morrison, to learn more about this epic journey and how they are scaling their goals, their programs, and their impact.
Activism in a Digital First World
What can we do? As Jane Fonda writes in her new book, “What Can I Do? My Path from Climate Despair to Action,” we can create a collective impact when we join forces together. Thanks to our tech-centric society, digital relationships are here—the challenge is leveraging the data they generate to drive meaningful climate action at scale. Salesforce.org’s Chief Marketing and Engagement Officer, Cristina Jones, joins activist-actress Jane Fonda along with some fresh new voices in the climate movement in this dynamic and inspiring session: an opportunity to create a sustainable future with clear, attainable steps.
The Future of Funding: Expanding Partnerships with Foundations
The nature of giving has changed, favoring deeper and longer-lasting relationships between foundations and nonprofits over individual donations. With the increased interest, however, there are also different views of what these relationships entail, and how to achieve them. Ford Foundation President Darren Walker and Associate Dean for Research and International Programs of Indiana University, Lilly Family School of Philanthropy Dr. Una Osilli, discuss how foundations can empower nonprofits to invest and thrive in this evolving landscape.

Digital Maturity is a Journey, Not a Destination
As the world is increasingly connected, new mindsets and skills are needed to adapt and engage in new ways. Join nonprofit Trailblazers Evelyn Diaz, President of Heartland Alliance, Sarah Angel-Johnson, CIO of Save the Children, and Geoff DeLizzio the Chief Development Officer of The Epilepsy Foundation as they discuss the importance of understanding digital evolution and knowing where your organization is on its digital maturity journey.
Feeding Community and Fueling Hope
A meal is so much more than a plate of food. During a crisis it can be medicine, comfort, or hope. World Central Kitchen is first to the frontlines to provide meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. By embracing flexibility, building deep relationships, and leveraging powerful technology, this global nonprofit establishes resilient food systems, empowering communities to feed themselves. Join Soledad O’Brien for a thought provoking conversation with Chef Jose Andres as they discuss the power of a good meal to reignite, maintain and grow a community.
