2026 Annual National Conference for Growing Community Foundations

Lead with Confidence. Grow with Purpose

The 2026 Annual National Conference for Growing Community Foundations invites you to connect with peers from across the United States! Examine some of today's developments affecting communities with thought-provoking leaders, decision-makers, foundation staff, and board members from small and medium-size community foundations in rural, small urban, and suburban America.  It is designed to meet the needs of both new and seasoned board members and staff in practical training to enhance their skills in all major areas of community foundation operations.  Last year, over 425 participants from over 160 community foundations from 34 states plus Washington DC attended the conference enriching the experience of all attendees.

As said by previous attendees: "The sessions were engaging, the speakers inspiring, and connections made were invaluable. I left feeling energized, informed, and proud to be a part of this network".
