New for 2024! Building Together: Leading Collaboratively Across Differences

Join the Council on Foundations for our new sector-wide event, Building Together: Leading Collaboratively Across Differences. This immersive event was designed to introduce skills and strategies to philanthropic leaders who want to bridge differences and counteract toxic polarization.

Building Together is an active three-and-a-half-day leadership immersion that will challenge you to learn, practice and reflect with your philanthropic peers in real-time. Each moment has been created to support our common goal of bridging divides. You'll engage in half-day strategy and skill building workshops, peer-to-peer learning sessions, Practice Team reflection, and memorable receptions and experiences. 

We hope to see you in Chicago on May 6-9, 2024.
