We’re headed to Charm City for TFN’s 25th Anniversary Conference: Be Bold Together!
Be sure to save the date to join us March 17-19, 2025 in Baltimore for a thought-provoking and action-oriented gathering that will bring together place-based, regional and national funders.
Join us to deepen your learning, share strategies, and broaden your professional networks.
TFN’s 25th Anniversary theme — Be Bold Together — reflects our belief that leaders in philanthropy can and should embrace courageous action and meaningful collaboration that will help unlock environmental, economic and racial justice.
We’ll amplify the powerful and creative work that is making an impact on people, places and policies.
We’ll make space for frank conversations about the shortcomings and challenges we face as a sector.
We’ll take time to center joy — and celebrate the progress and the possibilities of creating a more equitable future, together.
And, like at every TFN conference, we’ll have ample opportunities for you to connect, recharge and socialize with fellow funders.
Registration will launch in the winter with discounted rates for members, early bird, and group registrations.
But if you’d like to get a jump on lodging, please visit our 25th Anniversary: Be Bold Together event page for more information. (We’ll be staying at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel, located on the Inner Harbor, the city’s historic seaport.)
