Peer Forum: How Community Foundations Work Across Differences

Community foundation leaders are invited to join the Council on Foundations, in partnership with the Trust for Civic Life and Community Foundations for Civic Health for a special pre-conference at Building Together 2026 to explore how community foundations are actively working to navigate deep differences in their communities and build civic health. During this session, attendees will have the opportunity to share their own experiences, gain insights from peers to understand what’s worked and what hasn’t, and leave with practical examples and models for how to work across lines of difference and encourage vibrant civic culture in their own communities.
