Hub Culture Davos 2026: Sarah Howard on Why Philanthropy Needs a New Operating System 257 views

Philanthropy is entering a transformation era — and the old playbook won’t survive it. From the Hub Culture Studio at Davos 2026, Sarah Howard, Managing Director of the Global Philanthropy Forum, joins Edie Lush to unpack why philanthropy must fundamentally rethink how it operates in the 21st century. Marking 25 years of the Forum, Sarah frames this moment through three “tectonic plates” reshaping our world: climate change, frontier technologies, and the future of governance. These forces aren’t siloed funding categories — they’re colliding systems that demand a new operating model rooted in listening, partnership, and radical transparency. The conversation explores power dynamics in philanthropy, the limits of top-down solutions, and why those closest to the front lines must shape what comes next. At stake is nothing less than human thriving — and the social contract itself. A grounded, provocative look at how philanthropy can become fit for purpose in a rapidly transforming world. #Davos2026 #Philanthropy #GlobalPhilanthropy #FutureOfGiving #ClimateChange #FrontierTech #Governance #SocialContract #SystemsChange #HubCulture #GlobalLeadership
