One of the greatest values is that high networth donors are really willing and able to grapple with issues that are very far away, and difficult to track. Often the discussions could become demoralizing because the challenges are so very, very deeprooted. Somehow, GPF is able to be strategic and tactically constructive; it is also able to measure/limit expectations. And who can argue with the need that we have to do *something* when 70% of our world has an annual income of $800? The difference here is a reality check of how difficult it is. What is not different is what can appear as overwhelming challenges to overcome.... all best, Pamela Sean, I appreciated your view of GPF, as I attended as well.
