Curated Experience Exclusively for Missouri Grantmakers
Convening more than 120 of the state's leading grantmakers and philanthropic partners, Philanthropy Missouri (PhilMO) has created a space designed specifically to provide a statewide perspective while connecting, challenging, and strengthening Missouri's philanthropic community as a whole with the Show-Me Philanthropy Statewide Conference.
The Show-Me Philanthropy Statewide Conference audience includes and extends beyond the PhilMO Membership, who invested more than $900 million into Missouri in 2025. Your investment will reach the individuals and institutions who shape Missouri’s philanthropic landscape. The Show-Me Philanthropy Statewide Conference is a singular opportunity to influence the breadth and depth of grantmakers across Missouri, convening corporate givers, family foundations and donor-advised funds, private and conversion foundations, faith-based and religious grantmakers, community foundations and federated funds, and tax-supported funds.

+ Showcase field leaders — bringing thought catalysts from within and beyond Missouri to challenge assumptions and share actionable practices;
+ Demonstrate your commitment to collaboration and deeper alignment across the sector;
+ Sustain strong, well-connected infrastructure to fuel continued learning and field-building year-round.
