Over the last few years, family foundations have engaged in a unique balancing act: adapting creatively and swiftly to an ever-changing world while navigating the internal dynamics present within their families and organizations. Many family funders find themselves increasingly serving as a bridge between many priorities, from succession planning to managing family conflict to strengthening their grantee relationships.
SCG's Family Philanthropy Conference, Bridging Possibilities, will explore how family foundations today are modeling effective collaboration as they bring together different perspectives and strategies to find common ground and move our collective work forward. Our incredible lineup of family philanthropy leaders and partners will host a series of family-focused conversations grounded in deepening our relationships, commitments, and investments to be catalysts for change.
We are excited to announce that SCG has reimagined this year's signature family convening to become a two-day event, now taking place on December 6, 2024, and March 6, 2025. We believe these new dates will better align with our member's schedules and create more opportunities for our community to learn, connect, and build together. We highly encourage members to attend both days to participate in the full scope of the conversation and to be in community with their fellow SCG family colleagues. However, attending Day 1 is not a prerequisite for attending Day 2.
We hope you will join SCG's family community for our two-day family foundation conference, where we will take a deeper look at the possibilities and hands-on approaches needed for family philanthropy to thrive. We believe in the potential of family philanthropy to be a guide in difficult times and a model of how philanthropy can bridge our communities and invest in our shared humanity.
