Leading Locally 2027

Leading Locally 2027 is the Council on Foundations' reimagined community foundation conference, now expanded to include all place-based funders. It's where philanthropic leaders come together to explore how philanthropy can strengthen the civic fabric of communities—building connection, fostering resilience, and stewarding the future. Connect with community foundations and place-based funders in Los Angeles, May 4-6, as we dive into trends, topics, and tools to strengthen your local impact.

Registration will open in late 2026. If you want to be one of the first to hear about event updates and speaker announcements, be sure to join our early access list.
