2026 Blue Sky Funders Forum Annual Convening

Our theme is Nurturing Networks – exploring how to weave, sustain, and grow mycelial networks to amplify the social impact nature has on communities in need. Through site visits, roundtables, facilitated connections, and storytelling, funders will learn how to nurture distributed, interconnected efforts across organizations and communities that multiply outcomes for nature access, health, and resilience.

With Maine’s majestic coastline, rivers, and forests as a backdrop, attendees will explore new ideas for collective action in policy and advocacy, data tracking and analysis, and community-led governance.

Attendees will leave inspired and resourced to identify and nurture networks to strengthen their impact.
