Conference Sessions
Leading Locally 2025 presents a diverse lineup of sessions and speakers, delivered by community and place-based funders and their partners from around the country. The concurrent, peer learning, and breakfast roundtable sessions on our schedule were selected through a call for sessions that received over 250 proposals.
Wednesday, June 11
In Washington, D.C. there’s a new Congress, a Republican trifecta, and a slew of expiring tax provisions. A budget reconciliation package is coming soon — and issues that impact philanthropy may be on the table. Join this session to hear about the current congressional environment and learn how to make sure Congress understands your foundation’s work. Then, breakout groups will discuss their policy efforts and what tools and resources they still need to be effective advocates.
