Welcome to Haute Giving:
The Sexy Side of Philanthropy
Haute Giving is where glamour meets gravity.
We cover the world of modern philanthropy — the events, leaders, causes, and culture shaping how people give, gather, and create impact.
Yes, we love a fabulous gala, a great dress, a champagne toast, and a step-and-repeat moment. But we care even more about what the room is raising money for, who benefits, and how all that sparkle turns into real support for real communities.
We call it the sexy side of philanthropy — but sexy doesn’t mean shallow.

Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean Headline a Star-Studded Global Citizen Festival
On September 26, 2026, Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean will headline the Global Citizen Festival, bringing music, culture and global advocacy together in the heart of New York City. The performance will mark the 30th anniversary of the Fugees’ landmark album The Score, adding a nostalgic cultural moment to an event designed to drive action on some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
They’ll be joined by an equally star-powered lineup featuring John Legend, Lenny Kravitz, Lainey Wilson, Shaboozey and TOMORROW X TOGETHER, with Hugh Jackman returning as host. Additional artists and special guests are expected to be announced ahead of the festival.

Finding the right philanthropic events should not require hours of searching through websites, newsletters, social media and ticketing platforms.
Haute Giving has curated the season’s standout galas, fundraisers, benefit dinners, cultural events, and community gatherings in New York and Atlanta—all in one place through Party With Purpose.
Whether you are a philanthropist, nonprofit professional, corporate leader, or someone looking to volunteer for a meaningful cause, the calendar helps you discover where to go, who you may meet, and what your attendance supports.
These events are more than beautiful venues and great outfits. They’re opportunities to build relationships, expand your network, support important organizations, and connect with the people shaping social impact.
We curated the calendar. Now you can decide where to go, who to meet, and how to give back.
