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.
Wednesday, June 11
This session will introduce “Exchange” powered by the Philanthropy Data Commons (PDC), a novel application that connects proposal data submitted to individual funders and stored in siloed grant management systems and allows grantees to reuse and update their proposal data. Designed for foundation leaders, program officers, and grants managers, this session will walk participants through how Exchange works, its benefits for both funders and grant applicants, and how they can engage with PDC to connect and integrate their data. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge to streamline proposals.
