Philanthropy Southwest’s Annual Conference consistently draws several hundred trustees and staff attendees from grantmaking organizations of all types and sizes. Registration is open to trustees and staff of grantmaking organizations and provides the opportunity to

connect with fellow philanthropists located or making investments in the Southwestern United States. Conference participants report that they are energized by the sessions they attend, inspired to collaborate, and motivated to find opportunities for change within their communities. Thank you to our Annual Conference Committee, who volunteers their time and skills to shape an Annual Conference at which foundation leaders can learn from one another and subject matter experts across the nation.

What Participants Are Saying...

"Alongside a deeper set of leadership understanding, I gained a network of peers I'll stay connected with and support throughout our leadership journeys."

- Sarah Parcell, Communities Foundation of Oklahoma

"The program reinforced my belief that our responsibility in philanthropy extends beyond individual funding decisions. It also gave me space to reflect on how I lead: the assumptions I bring, how I listen, and how I build trust. I came away with a stronger appreciation for how much the quality of our work depends on the care we bring to those everyday interactions."

- Laura Dean-Shapiro, Tejemos Foundation

"The cohort helped me better understand the importance of identifying my role in a given situation. Knowing when to lead, when to support, when to listen, and when to challenge allows me to make more effective decisions while preserving and strengthening trust within a team."

- Lizzy Martin, Dugas Family Foundation
