Join us for TFN’s 25th Anniversary Conference in Baltimore | March 17-19
We’re celebrating TFN’s milestone year with a thought-provoking and action-oriented 25th Anniversary Conference in Baltimore, March 17-19.
Our Baltimore gathering will bring together place-based, regional and national funders to deepen their learning, share their strategies, and broaden their professional networks.
TFN’s 25th Anniversary theme — Be Bold Together — reflects our belief that leaders in philanthropy can and should embrace courageous action and meaningful collaboration that will help unlock environmental, economic and racial justice.
We’ll amplify the powerful and creative work that is making an impact on people, places and policies.
We’ll make space for frank conversations about the shortcomings and challenges we face as a sector.
We’ll take time to center joy — and celebrate the progress and the possibilities of creating a more equitable future, together.
And, like at every TFN conference, we’ll have ample opportunities for you to connect, recharge and socialize with fellow funders.
