This week in Geneva, Chapel & York hosted an insightful breakfast discussion bringing together leaders from across the philanthropy and wealth sectors to unpack one of the most pressing topics of 2025: cross-border giving in a time of policy and regulatory change.
Key Themes
From U.S. tax policy shifts to increasing complexity in international compliance, one thing became clear — global philanthropy is entering a new chapter that demands clarity, collaboration, and adaptability.
