Join your corporate philanthropy peers for an inspiring in-person retreat by the St. Joseph River. This event provides a unique opportunity to collaboratively address challenges, explore emerging trends and take part in shared learning. Most importantly, the retreat offers invaluable time to build meaningful relationships and engage in discussions on the topics that matter most to you.

Join your Michigan philanthropy peers engaged in housing work and meet with selected state legislators on housing policy issues. Conversations and storytelling will be focused on, but not limited to, increasing low income housing, housing security for the unhoused, and eviction prevention.

Join Latinx Affinity Network (LAN) peers and Latine Nonprofit Leaders for a regional social gathering at a local restaurant in downtown Grand Rapids! We'll come together in a fun, informal and meaningful space to connect as people and advocates of our beloved communities.

Join your Michigan philanthropy peers engaged in career and technical education access and opportunities. Conversations and storytelling will focus on, but not be limited to, career and technical education program support, training, and access to programs supported by Michigan philanthropy. Stories can come from work in the K-12 space and beyond. We will meet with selected state legislators engaged in these policy-making areas, so a broader range of discussion is welcome. Career and technical education opportunities are shaping up to be an important discussion in Lansing for this legislative session.

Join your Michigan peers for a timely, informative and engaging in-person gathering in Lansing.

We are also designing this convening to help grow your network so you can build connections with those who are similar in size, region and issue areas of focus, while also learning from the diversity of Michigan's family foundations.
