In January 2020, futurist Trista Harris joined PhilMO Members and community partners to speak about building the future of philanthropy. Shortly after, the world shifted in response to a pandemic -- changing long-held policies, social norms, and practices that had been thought of as immovable. 

How do we take that same spirit of change into the future and help ensure that communities in need aren't left behind?

Please join PhilMO and Trista Harris in St. Louis for an interactive discussion about just this. We will review where current trends are headed and how we can build the future we want to see for ourselves, our sector, and our communities. 

We know the future will require meaningful, trusted partnerships between funders and funded partners. This program intentionally brings together grantmakers and community nonprofits and includes opportunities for relationship-building before and following the facilitated discussion. Join us in learning why now is the time for future thinking in philanthropy!

PhilMO Members, please log-in to register. Non-Member Funders and Nonprofit Parnters, please email info@philmo.org for registration and payment details ($15).
