Philanthropy Fellows Conferences
and Conference Action Statements

A crucial component of the Johns Hopkins International Philanthropy Fellows Program is the biennial Fellows' conference. These conferences are typically organized with the help of one of the Fellows in a host country overseas. The purpose is to foster a real network among all the participants in this program by gathering all the alumni every other year to welcome the newcomers to the program, to provide a forum for exchanging experiences, and to create a cadre of people with a common base of comparative knowledge about the nonprofit sector in different countries gained through first-hand exposure to local circumstances and patterns. The conferences also provide a mechanism for foundations and corporations that are operating internationally to gain solid contacts with informed and able people involved in nonprofit work in a wide assortment of countries.
