What's your learning experience going to be like at the 2014 Fall Conference?

The 2014 Fall Conference for Community Foundations is the culmination of a year of celebrating the impact of the first century of community philanthropy and a concept that has spread around the globe. The October gathering builds upon two important bodies of work: the conversations on place-based philanthropy that began at last fall’s conference and the extensive research sponsored by the Council and conducted by the Monitor Institute on the future of community philanthropy. In addition, conference content is being built in response to the challenges, takeaways and needs you shared with the Council through the Call for Ideas. We heard your desire to discuss, NextGen donors, donor engagement, race and equity, technology, disaster relief, rural philanthropy, mergers and acquisitions, community leadership and more.
