The Shared Prosperity Forum is a premier gathering that brings together leaders from private cooperation, corporate and family foundations, social organizations, and businesses to collaboratively shape a transformative agenda. Here, knowledge becomes actionable at the local level, partnerships lead to tangible impact, and together we pave the way toward sustainable development in Colombia.
Engage with leading national and international voices through dynamic presentations and panels.
Forge and strengthen alliances with key players in the social and business ecosystems.
Participate in idea labs, TED-style talks, and innovative sessions designed to foster shared learning.
Connect with communities and witness firsthand the projects driving real change.
This will be the Forum’s overarching theme—an invitation to reflect on the role of private cooperation from both national and territorial perspectives. Throughout the agenda, this focus will explore how foundations and actors across the social ecosystem can respond to Colombia’s major challenges—such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and demographic transitions—through a place-based, systemic, and co-responsible lens.
We aim to promote collaborative mechanisms that mobilize resources, empower community leadership, and expand collective impact. The Forum will spotlight community philanthropy, collaborative funds, and joint giving strategies as innovative paths to drive social change and scale solutions.
This theme will highlight the unique realities of each region, emphasizing the importance of inclusive, multi-stakeholder collaboration to drive comprehensive and lasting transformations. Topics such as multidimensional poverty, systemic change, and environmental pressures will be addressed from a long-term, context-aware perspective.
We will explore how global trends shape Colombia’s national landscape and how philanthropy can proactively respond—advancing social justice, reinforcing democratic values, and preparing for demographic shifts. The agenda will delve into the strategic role the philanthropic sector can play in addressing these far-reaching changes.
