OPEN DOOR PHILANTHROPY WITH DIMPLE ABICHANDANI

Author of “A New Era of Philanthropy”

What can two of the architects of modern philanthropy teach us about its future?

In this episode of Open Door Philanthropy, Margaret Chapman sits down with Dimple Abichandani, author of A New Era of Philanthropy, to explore the lives and legacy of Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage and Andrew Carnegie – two giants in the Gilded Age.

Together, they examine questions that are just as relevant today as they were more than a century ago: Who gets to decide? How should philanthropy balance expertise with community voice? What responsibilities come with wealth? And what might the next era of philanthropy look like?

Whether you’re a nonprofit leader, funder, researcher, or simply curious about how philanthropy continues to evolve, we hope this conversation offers both historical perspective and inspiration for what comes next.
