 The SRQ Philanthropic Agenda and Good Hero Awards luncheon and panel discussion will explore the dynamic and ever changing world of non-profits. What's trending, who's innovating, why are donor-advised funds growing so rapidly and what exactly are donors looking for? The luncheon will culminate with the SRQ Good Hero Philanthropic Awards program at which we will honor individuals who have meaningfully impacted our community for good in the past year and for-profit companies who have been incredible philanthropic partners to the community.

THE ANNUAL SRQ GOOD HERO PHILANTHROPIC AWARDS PROGRAM

We invite the community to nominate individuals who have made a significant impact to realize the mission of local nonprofit organizations— from volunteers and board members to individual staff members and donors. We will recognize our annual Good Hero Philanthropic Award recipients, who are ambassadors of the incredible giving back spirit in the region, at the SB2: Philanthropic Agenda Luncheon and Good Hero Philanthropic Awards Luncheon. In honor of the late Steve Seidensticker of Tableseide and its group of local restaurants, the Corporate Good Hero Award recognizes a for-profit organization who has made significant and lasting contributionts to the regional philanthropic community.


SB2 GIVING COAST — PHILANTHROPIC LUNCHEON SYMPOSIA

SB2 Giving Coast is a regional philanthropic initiative comprised of two annual luncheons devoted to key topics philanthropy. SB2 focuses on the collaboration between Sarasota and the Bradenton Area and catalyzes relevant and future-focused regional dialogue around the independent nonprofit section with a keynote presentation and facilitated panel discussion with regional leadership.

Each luncheon features an in-depth keynote presentation from a notable regional expert in the field who joins the panel to expand on the context of the topic and deliver fresh perspectives on how our philanthropic community fits into the broader picture of the state, region and country. Adding to the engagement-centric atmosphere, SB2 will also feature an awards ceremony during each luncheon: celebrating the Annual Philanthropic Good Hero Awards in December and the Annual Philanthropic Change Agent Awards in March.
