RING OF FIRE: What's Happening in South Africa's Philanthropic Sector

We've brought together four leading voices in South African philanthropy for a candid conversation, from the economic pressures reshaping funding portfolios, to what South African-led philanthropy really means in practice, to the role AI and blended finance might play by 2030. Guided by moderator Reana Rossouw (Next Generation), this is a conversation about where we've been, what's shifting and what it will take to build something more resilient together.

On the panel:

• Jolene Henn – Heineken Beverages
• Leandi Sadie – Allan Gray Orbis Foundation
• Marlene Coetzee-George – Laureus Sport for Good Foundation
• Shona Young – Investec Philanthropy

A huge thank you to Heineken Beverages for hosting this gathering.

Spaces are limited, secure your seat.

See you there,

WiPSA Steering Committee
