The Event

Model Foundation is an international summer program on venture philanthropy and social innovation. Through online and offline training, young people develop the skills and networks to become effective change-makers and leaders in their community. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions and be mentored by top leaders in the field. In addition, they will collectively manage a 20,000 USD fund to support a portfolio of impactful social organizations.

Model Foundation 2016 culminates in "Innovation for Impact," a conference on creating cross-sector solutions to long-standing social issues. Philanthropy in Motion (PIM) and Yale Center Beijing proudly invite you to join in this two-day conference, to hear from over 25 thought-leaders and practitioners at the nexus of philanthropy, technology, government, and the private sector.
