Statewide Conference & Annual Meeting

Convening funders and philanthropic partners from across Missouri, the Show-Me Philanthropy Statewide Conference is a unique opportunity to spend meaningful time with your cross-state peers to reflect on lessons learned, amplify promising practices, and build energy and enthusiasm for the work that remains. Join us at The Tiger Hotel in downtown Columbia, Missouri, on January 30-31, 2025, to inspire the most impactful year yet!

Thursday will include key Network Roundtables, a special film screening and discussion, time to build connection and trust with your peers at the Show-Me Social, and the opportunity to continue that conversation over a shared meal a local Columbia restaurant. Friday opens with an exciting keynote address and two rounds of breakout sessions designed to build your grantcraft, advance the sector, and/or explore a topic or case study.

Our time together culminates with Philanthropy Missouri’s 54th Annual Meeting and Luncheon. Everyone is welcome at the association business meeting though formal voting is restricted to Members. Before and after the Annual Meeting, conference goers enjoy final opportunities to network with their cross-state colleagues, discuss learning from the past 24 hours, and explore opportunities for collaboration and partnership.

You'll be on the road — brimming with possibilities for your 2025 philanthropic work — by 2:30PM on Friday.
