The second webinar in our philanthropy series is now available to watch on demand; ‘How to manage risk in philanthropy’.

We were delighted to be joined by Lucy Macnamara of Do Good. Well. alongside our Head of Philanthropy, Catherine de Maid.

Bringing their experience and guidance together, Catherine explored legal and compliance risks including governance and managing conflicts of interest or loyalty, and Lucy considered reputational risks. 

Our second webinar builds upon the publication of our philanthropy guide earlier this year, "Turning good into great: Insights into effective philanthropy”. It also builds on our first webinar How to establish a philanthropy strategy which explored the key issues philanthropists ought to consider to make their giving as successful as possible.
