The TIME100 Philanthropy Impact Dinner, held at One World Trade Center, served as a gathering point for artists and athletes focusing on hope and future investment. Amid declining charitable contributions, the event highlighted urgent social issues, such as digital inequity exacerbated by COVID-19. Honorees emphasized the importance of supporting causes that promote education and technology access, as many students face significant barriers. Additionally, sentiments of financial insecurity are prevalent among many Americans, driving home the importance of collective action for a better future.
COVID-19 was a big talking point of the night, as honorees spoke about the way the pandemic spurred them to take charitable action as existing inequalities became more apparent.
Nearly three-quarters of Americans believe that their children will be worse off financially than their parents, a sentiment echoed in several nations worldwide.
