CARIBBEAN PHILANTHROPIC ALLIANCE

FUTURE FORWARD FORUM 2025

PHILANTHROPY IN ACTION

Powering Possibility, Partnership, and Proximity

Dear Future Forward Forum Invitee

Please join us October 28–31, 2025 in Kingston, Jamaica for the Future Forward Caribbean Philanthropy Forum, hosted by the Caribbean Philanthropic Alliance (CariPhil).

This Year's Theme

Philanthropy in Action: Powering Possibility, Partnership, and Proximity

This theme reflects our commitment to advancing Caribbean-led solutions to some of the region's most pressing challenges.

Why This Matters?

In recent years, Caribbean communities have faced mounting climate impacts, economic volatility, and persistent inequality. These realities make clear the urgent need for building a strong, relevant, robust, and innovative Caribbean philanthropy ecosystem—one that:

Roots philanthropy intrinsically in local leadership to advance communities’ and regional priorities
Harnesses the power of global capital and diaspora giving
Encourages collaboration across sectors to scale solutions
Embraces innovation to address complex challenges with agility and impact

Why You Should Attend?

This is the first gathering of its kind in history—a landmark moment where Caribbean, diaspora, and global philanthropic leaders will meet in one space to design the future of giving and investment in our region.

By attending, you will:

Meet and connect with leading regional and global funders, corporate philanthropists, social innovators, policymakers, and creative changemakers
Be part of shaping a new, collaborative vision for Caribbean philanthropy—rooted in equity, sustainability, and local leadership
Gain direct access to groundbreaking initiatives, from climate action commitments to diaspora investment platforms
Forge partnerships that can translate into real, scalable impact across the Caribbean and beyond
Experience the power of the Caribbean's cultural and creative sector as a catalyst for innovation and change

This is more than a conference—it's your chance to stand at the center of a movement that will define the next chapter of Caribbean development.
