Even when the conference is not in session, the learning continues before and after the Los Angeles convening! Our Leading Locally All Year Long webinar series explores topics designed specifically for community foundation and place-based funders, including some of our popular sessions selected for Leading Locally 2027! These webinars are marketed to the entire Council community. This opportunity includes recognition in webinar promotions to attendees and prominent recognition on the Leading Locally All Year Long event pages.

Show your commitment to an inclusive conference experience by sponsoring accessibility efforts such as closed captioning and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters. This opportunity includes a special acknowledgment in our online accessibility guide.

Give Leading Locally participants a central place to connect with one another between conference programming, in a convenient, comfortable space! This beautiful lounge provides attendees with a dedicated space to network with the Council community, charge their devices, or relax between sessions. This opportunity includes recognition on prominent event signage and the conference app.

Enhance attendee experience by supporting a robust conference app that facilitates discussion and features all conference sessions, speakers, sponsors, attendees, and much more.

Help participants center their focus and make space for their well-being while they’re out of the office. This sponsorship supports mental and physical wellness activities throughout the event. This opportunity includes recognition on prominent event signage at wellness activities.

The Council recognizes the incredible power of the arts to inspire and foster change. Local performance and visual artists will be highlighted throughout Leading Locally to connect attendees to artists and cultural experiences. This opportunity includes recognition on prominent event signage.

We strive to keep the cost of event registrations accessible but realize that it is not feasible for everyone. Support participation for leaders who may not otherwise be able to attend due to limited professional development budgets.

Join Council CEO Kathleen Enright and Council board members for a relaxed evening of connection on Wednesday evening. Enjoy a stunning Los Angeles sunset from the rooftop at Spire 73, the tallest bar in the Western Hemisphere, and lively conversation with other place-based and community foundation leaders. This opportunity includes three reception invitations and prominent signage at the event.

Capture the attention of event attendees with a two-minute promotional video, provided by you, introducing your mission and services to the Leading Locally audience in the ten-minute window before a plenary session begins, when attendees are getting settled in their seats, and the room is buzzing with energy. Seize the opportunity to captivate attendees by highlighting how your organization supports the philanthropic sector at a high-visibility moment on the main stage.

Note: video content is subject to Council review.
