Annual Convening
May The Force of Beyond-the-Grant Support Be With You
Organization Members Only
For the longest time, the metaphysical, cosmic power of the Force in the Star Wars universe seemed predestined for the select, special few. Similarly, philanthropy’s capacity to support, engage, and interact with grantees has long been the domain of its executive and program folk. But times change. In the same way that the canonical story has shifted so that the Force is less a birthright and more a democratized, flows-through-us-all ability, a growing number of foundations are stepping into their capacity to unleash the full power, promise, and potential of their teams in service of grantees. Come hear the stories of, interact with, and share your own experiences with colleagues who’ve made the leap of moving from transaction to transformation by using their talent and skill—their Force—to support grantees beyond the grant.
