2025 NCG Annual Conference: Becoming Our Vision

About 

The Context 

We are in polarizing and precarious times. For philanthropy, this moment requires us to close the gap between our values and our actions to truly become our shared vision of equity and justice. At their core, visions are born from our deepest desires for the future. What are we needing in this moment? How will that shape your vision? How will we live into our collective vision? 

The Conference 

Our conference will offer both inspiration and a clear path to action. We will focus on the power of healing justice for our movements, investing in movement leaders, and understanding philanthropy’s role in these pivotal times. What is the ecosystem of relationships and expansive ideas we need to become our vision? What does this interdependent ecosystem look and feel like?

The Call to Philanthropy 

Imagine a Northern California where resources are redistributed back to those leading transformative change. In this vision, healing and justice are not merely aspirations but realities. This is a moment to embrace the responsibility and privilege of working within philanthropy. By listening deeply, acting boldly, and committing enduring resources, we can become the vision we seek for our shared future. What are you being called for in this moment? Let’s answer the call together.
