David Maurrasse Speaks in China

 Marga CEO, David Maurrasse is speaking in China this summer.  In Beijing, through a partnership between Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs and Beijing University, Maurrasse will speak on “Private Resources for Public Ends” to an audience of Chinese public officials.  As private wealth in China grows, and public administration increases in complexity, how will Chinese society leverage private funds to complement public initiatives.

As Marga’s work with the philanthropic industry promotes strategic and deliberate approaches to grants and donations, a number of questions arise. How can grants and donations mutually serve the needs of grantees and donors? How can these approaches be applied in societies where philanthropy is earlier and emerging stages?  Even in a United States context, how can philanthropy be coordinated across donors and philanthropic institutions as well as between philanthropy and government?  These questions are in no way fully resolved in the United States. Maurrasse’s lecture will address these questions and other issues around the kinds of links that can be forged between private resources and public initiatives.
