Have you attended Philanthropy New York's Annual Meeting in the past and left feeling re-energized and re-connected to your peers in the sector? Join us this year for our Annual Learning Meeting, now a departure from the Annual Business Meeting.** Read on.
In times of rapid change, inaction is philanthropy's biggest risk. Philanthropy New York has designed our 2026 Annual Learning Meeting, From Caution to Courage: Embrace Risk. Ignite Impact., to support you and your organization to develop and exercise the muscles required to appropriately assess who and what are at risk when philanthropy doesn't continue its work.
What does courage look like? What must we be in the practice of doing to activate our courage when we are assessing risk and making decisions? Even the best intentions require a regular exercise of regrounding in our purpose and values. We will explore the gap between our intentions and actual community impact when aligning risk tolerance with mission and values.
Join your Philanthropy New York community in person, and prepare to connect deeply with your sector colleagues for a high-energy, half-day immersion in collective learning and community building, through:
- inspirational PhilTalks,
- art and experiential learning,
- skill-building workshops, and
- peer exchanges.
** Our Annual Learning Meeting is now separated from our Annual Business Meeting, to be hosted in May 2026.
