First Look: Connected Community Ecosystems at the Intersection of Philanthropy and Entrepreneurship
Community foundations of any size, location, and developmental trajectory are invited by event sponsors: Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation , Foundant Technologies, and the Annual National Conference for Growing Community Foundations (hosted by KACF) .
The agenda will include a spotlight on community foundation leaders who work on advancing local economies as a strategic element of their community philanthropy work and understand the leadership required to think differently of how we expand entrepreneurial opportunities within the foundation and the community.
In addition, engage with subject matter experts who are familiar with the work and are interested in working with community foundations to expand opportunities in the following areas:
- How to calibrate your strategy and talent to engage and catalyze new opportunities and approaches to community development and growth opportunities
- Investing in Main Street for Wall Street Returns in your Portfolio
- How to get the Board on Board with Community & Economic Development
