Attendees have commented about our annual conference:
"I am always struck by the care and planning
that is put into these conferences and enjoy the opportunity
to learn and exchange ideas."
“The conference was extremely well-organized
and the speakers were great. The presentations
and discussions stimulated my thinking about our
grantmaking.”
“This was an awesome opportunity for our
organization. It was helpful to hear the challenges,
new directions and needs of funders. The exchange of
thoughts and questions between organizations in need
of funding and organizations that have funding available
was enlightening.”
