Join us on March 31 for Philanthropy New York’s new Annual Learning Meeting—an energizing professional development and networking space to reconnect with your philanthropy peers. 

In times of rapid change, inaction may be philanthropy’s greatest risk. Philanthropy must strengthen the muscles required to assess who and what are at risk in this moment—and respond with courage.

Even the best intentions require regular opportunities to reground in purpose and values. During our annual gathering, we will explore what courage looks like for philanthropy at the individual, organizational, and systemic levels. 

Together, we will explore:
  • Navigating risks for philanthropy, nonprofit partners, and communities
  • Gaps between organizational intentions and real community impact
  • How values can guide risk tolerance and action 

Participants will leave with fresh perspectives to better assess risk, foster trust, and support bold decision-making.

Meet your Philanthropy New York community in person for a high-energy, half-day immersion in collective learning and connection through:
  • Inspirational PhilTalks
  • Art and experiential learning
  • Skill-building workshops
  • Peer exchanges

** The Annual Learning Meeting is now distinct from the Annual Business Meeting, which will be held virtually in May 2026 to allow dedicated space for member governance.
