Virtual Events

  • Join Bethany Little from Education Counsel and Zoe Stemm-Calderon from the Raikes Foundation who will lead us in a discussion on meeting the moment in education. From defending key pieces of education for all to finding ways to build critical local capacity.

  • For advisors looking to network and build community within P150.

  • Recurring meetup for Europe-based advisors to discuss new opportunities, obstacles, collaborative opportunities and more.

  • As more and more Americans get their information online, we know they're being inundated with overwhelming volumes of disinformation and anti-democratic propaganda. Join member host Jason Berkenfeld, to learn about what it will take to push back — what it will take to build a social media environment that is based in truth and core democratic values. We'll talk about some of the concrete projects that are currently underway, the ways in which artificial intelligence could be used for good, and the opportunities that funders have in this moment to help move the needle.

  • Join the second conversation in our Multi-Gen series, which aims to be a collaborative learning session focused on showcasing examples of how P150 advisors are using impact investing as an additive to their philanthropic strategies to drive greater impact. Molly Tilton and Sarah Douglis will co-host and be in conversation with Sharon Schneider (Impact Investing 101), MacKenzie Moritz (Laura Lauder’s innovative impact investing model for Jewish Community Federation) and Kwan-Yin Graw from Capricorn will share insights from this report published in partnership with Bridgespan.

  • Recurring meetup about the unique challenges and opportunities of leading lean foundations. View discussion topics here.

  • Join us for an Ask Me Anything with Keith Lawrence, Project Director of Conservation Support at The Pew Charitable Trusts, to explore proven models to boost conservation funding – such as project finance for permanence and debt conversion – and the critical role philanthropy plays.

  • Recurring meetup for members operating as sole operators and advisors to connect and collaborate. Discussion topics can be viewed here.

  • For members working to deploy more funding to women + girls (and intersectional feminist issues).

From P150 Members and Partners

  • P150 member Ilir Lita, the Sunflower Network, and partners are hosting an event at the AIA Center for Architecture in NYC.

Join us for an inspiring evening celebrating this transformative initiative and a model of collective impact — where architects, designers, developers, and humanitarian leaders unite to tackle global challenges. RSVP here.

  • Redwoods is a pilot initiative launched at last year’s P150 Gathering in partnership with Climate Lead, Project Drawdown, ClimateWorks, and other climate leaders.

Funded by leading climate philanthropies, Redwoods is currently available at no cost to you.
