On March 4th, 2009, Prof. Adil Najam, Director of the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, spoke at Global U, organized by the Chicago Global Donors Network, in Chicago, Illinois.

Global U–How to Connect Your Charitable Giving to Your Global Interests was created for people who give globally or who are thinking about giving globally. At Global U, experienced international donors shared tools and strategies to help others launch or expand a strategic and thoughtful global giving practice. The program also aimed to highlight the diversity of experience in giving, from first-time donors to experienced donors, and from foundation to diaspora community donors.

This year’s keynote speaker Dr. Najam discussed how donors can forge a holistic approach in their global giving. He focused on a global strategy for integrated development for philanthropists; in particular, how philanthropists give to charitable causes with respect to the longer range future.
