Laura Freschi

Associate Director of the New York University Development Research Institute

Darin McKeever

Deputy Director for Charitable Support at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Timothy Ogden

Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Philanthropy Action

Edward Skloot

Director of Duke University's Center for Strategic Philanthropy and Civil Society

In his introduction to the September 2011 issue of Alliance magazine, Philanthropy Action editor Timothy Ogden noted that its articles would address these questions: "How influential is the Gates Foundation today? What impact is it having not just on philanthropy but on society? Are there dangers and downsides to such a large actor in proportion to other philanthropic institutions? If so, how serious are they? Can they be mitigated and if so, how?"

We at the Bradley Center agree that these questions are important, and that Alliance's writers provided balanced and thoughtful answers to them. So we were proud to co-host with the magazine a panel discussion on December 6th.

**Required Reading from Alliance Magazine**

Laura Freschi and Alanna Shaikh, Gates - a benevolent dictator for public health?

Timothy Ogden, How much difference is it making?

Edward Skloot, The Gated Community
