How can I make a real difference in tough times—and rejuvenate myself?
Many of our communities are simply stuck, or not making the progress we need. We hear repeatedly among philanthropic leaders: What’s the path forward?
On January 16-17, join a select number of fellow travelers who, like you, are working in tough complex spaces and seeking to make a real difference in their communities and society. You will leave feeling refreshed, regrounded, and re-energized.
Learn about and explore a new path forward for working differently with communities. We’ll examine what it really takes for communities to transform themselves and how we can actively support those efforts in ways that go beyond financial capital.
Come ready to take challenges head-on and have real conversations. This safe haven is designed expressly for philanthropic leaders. Hear from other funders. Explore what it really takes to create meaningful, sustainable change.
Open up. This event is a rare opportunity to process the challenges you’re personally facing. When you’re grappling with a lot, how do you make choices? How do you stay centered and hopeful?
Who Should Come
Presidents and CEOs of funding organizations, vice presidents for programs, impact or strategy, board members, and other key high-level leaders. Come alone or bring a team of up to four individuals from your organization and/or other funding partners so you can work together throughout the convening.
