Join your peers in lean philanthropy for 3 days of knowledge sharing, skill building, and connections—in Baltimore October 17-19!
This event is designed for and by lean funders—those who give with few or no staff. Here, you can let your guard down and talk about the problems affecting the causes and communities you care about most with those who can relate.
At the conference, you’ll find sessions that share the how-tos of catalytic and equity-centered practices as well as the fundamentals of foundation management that make work like this possible!
Lean funders from across the country come to the Exponent Philanthropy Annual Conference to:
…learn from each other.
…share what they are doing.
…be inspired.
…chat with friends.
…make friends.
…ask questions.
…find solutions.
…focus on their giving.
…evaluate their practices.
…build their network.

…and feel the strength and energy of our community.
