What uniquely, can philanthropy do? At the WIN Summit, leaders from business, academia, philanthropy, and the social sector gathered to turn ideas into action for women as AI changes the future of work. Vivian Schiller moderated one session, “Funding the Future: Philanthropy & Innovation” with the Ford Foundation Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer Noorain Khan, Mozilla Foundation Executive Director Nabiha Syed, and Pivotal Vice President of Program Strategy Renee Kuriyan Wittemyer. Vivian kicked off the event, linked below, by asking what differentiates philanthropic capital from other forms of capital. The group pointed to imaginative problem-solving and discussed the benefits of meeting opportunities with capital that isn’t tied to future returns. The panel also examined how foundations are putting resources to work to support families, close gender gaps, and build resilient communities. The event was hosted by Aspen Digital WIN Challenge.

Building more resilient communities starts with people, preparedness, and the tools that support them. As AI continues to evolve, emergency managers are exploring how emerging technologies can strengthen preparedness, improve situational awareness, and support decision-making before, during, and after disasters. In a recent conversation on resilience and AI, Markle Foundation President Ellen Futter and Aspen Digital Senior Advisor Jeremy Greenberg, explored the opportunities these tools present while emphasizing the importance of human expertise, collaboration, and trust. Through AIDE, we're working to advance responsible AI adoption that equips emergency managers with practical tools while keeping human judgment at the center.
