On July 22, Hollywood’s most generous voices filled the Directors Guild of America theater for an afternoon about what giving back really looks like now. Presented by Gilead and hosted with The Hollywood Reporter, the Summit put purpose at the center of the conversation, with honest talk, big names and real commitments.

Stephen and Ayesha Curry were named Philanthropists of the Year for their work feeding children and families. Harrison Ford took the stage to honor his friend’s legacy as The Michael J. Fox Foundation received Philanthropic Organization of the Year. John Mayer was celebrated for his charitable work. Gilead, a partner from day one, was recognized for Excellence in Corporate Philanthropy.

More than 500 culture-makers, studios, agencies and advocates came together, alongside voices including Sepideh Moafi, Laverne Cox, Niecy Nash-Betts and Karamo Brown, to tackle the issues shaping our communities and to find ways to act on them.

From securing sponsorship to concept, design and production, Fifth & Hardy built the experience from the ground up. And we’re not slowing down: after launching our first New York City Summit on fashion, beauty and philanthropy, both summits return in 2027!
