Diaspora Fundraising - A Growing Trend
4 Nov, 15:15 - 16:15
Speaker(s): Andrew Watt
Track: Senior- Strategy
Synopsis:
Andrew Carnegie exemplified the drive and passion that Scottish emigrants took to the New World. His tradition and that of many like him still continues. We’ll examine the impact of Diaspora funding in Scotland today and compare that to trends elsewhere in the world. Is the Scottish experience unique and if so, what distinguishes it from other examples of global trans-border philanthropy?
