At its annual conference next month Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) is bringing together
three prominent individuals in the field of global philanthropy to describe how 
charities can maximise international donations and discover what motivates overseas
donors to lend their support.
Bob Ellsworth, Dr Lilya Wagner and Tae Yoo from the
USA will be speaking at the CAF Conference and Exhibition on Thursday 7 November
2002 at a seminar entitled, “Borderless giving – the opportunity, the challenge.”

With their combined experience of global fundraising, e-philanthropy and cross-border
giving programmes, the three will pinpoint the major challenges and opportunities
facing the sector. They will also consider the role that new

technology can play in breaking down geographical divides.

Bob Ellsworth, Director of Non-Profit Development for Network for Good and Senior
Strategic Advisor to the DotOrg Foundation, will address global philanthropy from
the donor’s perspective. He plans to discuss how issues of trust, confidence and
transparency can impact on giving and how charities can use new technology to identify
potential donors.

Using examples from her research as Associate Director of Public Service at Indiana
University Center on Philanthropy, Dr Lilya Wagner will examine global fundraising
from an NGO perspective and outline current trends in borderless giving.

As Vice President of Corporate Philanthropy at Cisco Systems and President of the
Cisco Foundation, Tae Yoo will offer valuable insight into the needs, interests 
and concerns of companies and their employees wishing to lend their support overseas.
Using Cisco Systems as a case study, Tae will demonstrate how companies can bridge
the gap between their employees and foreign charities through access to information,
encouragement and the right tools.

The speaker session will take place in the morning of the CAF Annual Conference 
and Exhibition 2002, at One Great

George Street, London. The seminar starts at 11am and costs £65.
