Be part of the momentum shaping the future of philanthropy in Indiana.

Philanthropy Leads is Indiana’s premier gathering for the state’s most engaged philanthropic leaders, bringing together foundation staff, trustees, corporate funders, philanthropic families, and social impact investors from across Indiana and beyond. As the cornerstone event of the year, it creates space for connection, learning, and collaboration to strengthen philanthropy’s impact in communities statewide.

Attendees will engage with national and regional thought leaders, explore timely issues shaping the sector, and gain practical insights to inform their work. From data and emerging trends to community leadership and innovation, sessions are designed to translate ideas into meaningful action.

Equally important, Philanthropy Leads is a place to build relationships. Through intentional networking and shared experiences, participants connect with peers, exchange ideas, and spark partnerships that extend well beyond the conference.

The conference also celebrates leadership across the field, including honoring graduates of the Mutz Philanthropic Leadership Institute and recognizing recipients of the Hazelett Award for Leadership in Grantmaking and the Public Policy Champion of Philanthropy Award.

Sessions shaped by sector trends and your feedback.

Session topics were shaped by philanthropy's most pressing issues, along with member feedback gathered through our annual survey, the 2024 conference, and recent IPA events and trainings.
