The Council on Foundations (COF) held a historic gathering this week. The Summit offered a rare opportunity for eligible organizations and individuals to discuss philanthropy’s future with other leaders from around the globe and to take part in programs and activities designed to enhance collaboration and impact.

Efurd presented. Noted venture philanthropist, Josh Becker presented a session he designed entitled Mission-Related Investing: Leveraging Assets for Social Change.
