• Special issues for foundations conducting international charitable activities
• Practical and ethical standards issues with international activities
• Current thoughts about sustainability
Two PFC members, the Harbinger Foundation and the Mastercard Foundation will also share stories on possibilities and pitfalls in their international work and the valuable lessons learned.
