Leading Locally 2025 - All Programming
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.

A few years ago, U.S. Bank started working on place-based investment programs. To help build out the strategy of the programs, USB partnered with the community to create design sessions that were community-led and community-focused. U.S. Bank learned a lot through this process about how to center community when creating community programming and we want to share this with our corporate giving and foundation peers. Participants will leave the room with understanding of the strategy, process, and impact of centering community in decision making.
