Agenda
Invest In The Future
The Summit will gather philanthropic visionaries and emerging figures from the next-generation, highlighting the insights gained from crisis responses, often the initial focus point for attention on the Black community.
In our Words Create Wins panel, we will showcase examples of the successful storytelling strategies needed to garner investment not only at an inflection point but also how to foster sustained, long-term support.
Leaders from across the nation will share the skills they use to navigate the shifting tides of philanthropy in a society with quickly changing priorities. Momentum will look ahead and share what’s trending in philanthropy, including how to make your organization succession-proof and the importance of making your teams intergenerational.
Join us for this powerful summit August 9 from 12 to 3 p.m. at The Strand Theater. See you there.
