Philanthropists and their advisors have had a wait-and-see approach to President Obama’s far-reaching pledges of reform. Now, with his senior leadership team in place, his first budget proposal released and several addresses to the nation under his belt, we have a strong basis for understanding if his promises are translating into action and how philanthropic strategies might adjust to support new initiatives and foster even stronger ideas.

… Arabella Insights Teleconference: The Impact of Obama’s First 100 Days on Philanthropy. Several leading authorities and many of our closest partners will discuss proposed changes to the tax code, calls for foundations to partner with the government and initiatives in the President’s priority areas of education, energy and health.
