No single organization or individual can shape philanthropy’s future alone. We are stronger when we share our stories, highlight our collective impact, and work together to achieve our goals. As part of Forward Together, philanthropy leaders will have the opportunity to connect with peers and meet with members of Congress and other policymakers to advance a shared vision. We'll explore ways to work together to build stronger communities and move our sector forward, together.

Shaping the Future is a series specifically for philanthropy leaders who are energized by thoughtful debate and problem solving together. This is not your typical sit-and-listen; your voice and expertise about the sector are essential to the conversation.

Together, we will chart a path forward—building on the generosity and achievements that have defined philanthropy for centuries.

Foundation leaders, philanthropy infrastructure organizations, and individuals looking to engage in shaping philanthropy’s future are invited to register for the series.
