About the Event
Join your corporate philanthropy colleagues for an engaging in-person retreat by the scenic Gun Lake in Shelbyville. This gathering offers a space to collaboratively share challenges, explore evolving practices, and learn collectively. Crucially, the retreat allows participants valuable time to forge meaningful connections with peers and engage in discussions about the issues most significant to them.
This year, we’re opening the CMF Corporate Retreat to a limited number of peers interested in becoming CMF members, giving them an opportunity to experience firsthand what CMF and our corporate philanthropy network have to offer. If you know of any peers interested in joining CMF, kindly send them our way. We'd love to connect with them.
This program is for corporate philanthropy practitioners only.
Share with us what topics you would like to learn as we plan out the retreat and other programs by answering this short questionnaire.
