Fundholder Exclusive: Foundational Learning Event

Philanthropy is about head and heart. It’s also highly personal.  

In another fundholder exclusive event, our very own Nadien Godkewitsch, director, Operations, will lead a workshop to help you look inward to help you ground and guide your personal giving. You will be invited to reflect on your values and develop your philanthropic guiding principles. You will leave this session with a framework for action! 

If you are a new or existing fundholder who has yet to attend this session or if you would simply like a refresher, please join us!

Fundholder Exclusive: Continuous Learning Event

Join us in October when we host fundholders and community organizations to connect, chat, learn and laugh together through several rounds of informal conversations in a musical chairs-like format. It’s our speed-dating event re-imagined!

“It was simultaneously productive, informative and a ton of fun!”

Shy? Don’t worry about it. We’ve got you covered. We’ll have facilitated conversations in groups and more casual opportunities to connect too. Extroverted? Well, this is your chance to finally supercharge your changemaking dreams face-to-face with old friends and new.

There’s nothing you’ll need to prepare in advance. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to meet some incredible people making a difference in our city.

This is an in-person event. Spaces are limited.

Open to Fundholders & Public: Continuous Learning Event

When charitable giving merges with traditional investing we’re seeing a new, purpose-driven paradigm. 

In this annual webinar, our panel of experts will be discussing the responsible investing and social finance landscape, its evolution, the trends and the challenges and successes of navigating this terrain. Some refer to it as producing a double bottom line where social and financial outcomes are equally valued. We call it progress.
