Meaning Well vs. Doing Good: Where Philanthropy Meets Fiction
A Conversation with Alisha Fernandez Miranda, Author of Someone’s Gotta Give
What happens when philanthropy gets personal — or goes hilariously wrong?
Join Alisha Fernandez Miranda, founder of I.G. Advisors and author of the sharp, heartfelt novel Someone’s Gotta Give, for a candid conversation about the messy, funny, and deeply human side of trying to do good in the world.
Based on two decades of real experience inside the social impact space, Alisha’s novel offers a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the minds of philanthropists — and what happens when good intentions meet complicated realities.
This session will explore:
The gap between meaning well and doing good
What fiction can reveal that strategy decks can’t
How storytelling might help us reimagine the future of philanthropy
Alisha will be joined by a special guest (TBA) for a dynamic, no-holds-barred conversation about the current state — and future — of giving.
Whether you work with funders, advise them, or are one yourself, this session will leave you laughing, thinking, and questioning everything you thought you knew about generosity.
