Info Session: Why Building Together 2024 Is the Place to Be

In a society marked by mistrust and division, we at the Council believe philanthropy has an opportunity to show up differently: by seeing our differences as assets, not obstacles, and finding solutions together. That journey begins at our annual sector event, Building Together, happening May 6-9 in Chicago.

Do you have questions about Building Together 2024? Join us for an info session to hear more about how this new, sector-wide event will teach you the skills to bridge differences in a highly polarized society, with:

  • Amazing speakers like David Brooks, Mónica Guzmán, and Amanda Ripley;
  • Half-day strategy and skill building workshops;
  • Peer-to-peer learning sessions;
  • Practice Team reflection; and
  • Exciting excursions in Chicago.

We’ll provide more details about what to expect, give an overview of the speakers and content you’ll engage with, and take your questions, including:

  • Who should attend?
  • What’s a practice team? Do I get to choose my own?
  • Do I have to choose sessions in advance?
  • Should we bring a group?

Peer Event

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - Peer Learning Circle

Connect with your peers across the country to strategize and share resources. Registration for the Peer Learning Circle is free and open to staff of all levels across all foundation types.

The Council on Foundations proudly unveils an exciting new member benefit tailored for foundations of all types, DEI Peer Learning Circles. This engagement opportunity is designed to connect foundation staff of all levels across the country who are working to explore, design, implement, or refine their organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Chaired by Celia Yapita, Community Leadership & Learning Director at the Albuquerque Community Foundation, the group will meet monthly or as the group decides.

In today's ever-evolving philanthropic landscape, our circles serve as more than just a platform for growth; they are a response to the urgent issues and DEI challenges unfolding in philanthropy and beyond. Through lively discussions, real-world case studies, and collaborative troubleshooting sessions, participants will gain invaluable insights, forge meaningful relationships, and acquire practical strategies and innovative approaches to drive DEI initiatives within their communities.

This will be a monthly series. While you're welcome to drop in for individual sessions, we encourage you to make this space your own by attending regularly.
