Leading Locally 2025

If you find joy and purpose in place-based philanthropy, Leading Locally 2025 is the place for you.

As the sector reacts to change at the national and global levels, your community is where you can have the greatest impact. At Leading Locally, we’ll unpack challenges and explore solutions — empowering you with fresh ideas, resources, and strategies for building inclusive and vibrant communities.

Connect with community and place-based funders from around the country and join the growing list of philanthropic organizations coming together when solidarity and connection is more critical than ever.

Relive the Excitement

We hope you’ve had time to reflect, recharge, and begin putting new skills and ideas into action. Take a moment to look back at this year’s experience through the Leading Locally 2025 photo album, a fun-filled highlight video, and plenary session recordings.
