Philanthropy Massachusetts' 57th Annual Conference [Funders and Philanthropic Advisors]

Join us for Philanthropy Massachusetts’ 57th Annual Conference!

Our signature event convenes funders and philanthropic advisors from across the region to learn, engage, act, and partner (LEAP). 

We are the place that ideas and practices of American democracy first took shape. Democracy was not perfected here. But it was debated here, tested here, and continually expanded here. Recently celebrating the 250th anniversary of this country, that history feels less like something to commemorate and more like a responsibility we are being asked to carry forward. This is the focus of our Annual Conference. 

Join us to learn about innovative, impactful national and statewide philanthropic work; engage with your peers and build meaningful connections; act by exploring collaborative opportunities to the issues affecting communities across Massachusetts; and partner with us and fellow leaders to shape what comes next. We'll also celebrate the 55th anniversary of one of the country's first pooled funds, The Summer Fund.

If you are a funder, philanthropic leader, advisor, or change maker committed to strengthening communities, this conference was created for you. Join foundation staff and board members, individual donors, Donor Advised Fund holders, philanthropic advisors, public sector officials, policymakers, and private sector leaders as we come together to build a Commonwealth where all people and communities can thrive.
