by Elena Sarikelle The University of Massachusetts Boston will present the next Forum for the 21st Century on Tuesday, December 4. The topic of the forum is “Corporate Philanthropy for the Arts: How Can the Giving Bar Be Raised?” In the nonprofit world, it is well known that Massachusetts’ corporations are rated at the bottom of the charitable giving chart for the United States. One reason for Massachusetts’ corporations to rethink their charitable giving is recent mergers and layoffs. How can more money be raised from the private sector? The forum will discuss those questions and more. The event will be held from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. in State Street Bank’s Franklin Street Enterprise Room. The speakers include Ricardo Barreto, executive director of the Urban Arts Institute at Massachusetts College of Art; Peter Donnelly, president of the Corporate Council for the Arts in Seattle; Jim Kitendaugh, president of the Wayland Group, Inc.; and Kathleen Pavlick, vice president of J.P. Morgan Chase in New York City. Paul Guzzi, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce will be moderating the discussion, which will feature commentary from Edmund Barry Gaither, director of the Museum of the National Center for Afro-American Artists. The Forum for the 21st Century is designed to bring civic leaders and the general public outstanding speakers with exciting ideas about how to manage and take advantage of demographic and environmental changes. This forum is the nineteenth in the series. The Arts and Business Council of Greater Boston and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce are co-sponsors. back to top
