What is the liberated world that philanthropy and movement partners can build together? Neighborhood Funders Group invites you to join us at Junction, taking place October 27-28 in Durham, North Carolina to explore this question and dream about what is possible.
In NFG’s efforts to activate philanthropy’s resources and influence to build collective power for racial, gender, economic, disability, and climate justice, it is critical for philanthropy and movement partners to intentionally work together toward a shared 50-year liberation journey. Junction is the space we’re creating for this work to happen.
This convening is not your standard philanthropy gathering. We’re bringing people together to practice radical imagination, to identify the seeds we must plant and tend to, and to ground ourselves in the work we must do right now to build a more just and liberated world. Junction is an event for strategizing with co-conspirators in philanthropy and movement, not just listening to and learning from.
We hope you’ll join NFG this October at Junction and build with us!
Because Junction is a small gathering with capacity limitations, there is a two-registration maximum from each institution. Registration is monitored and you will receive a confirmation email once your registration has been approved. We anticipate Junction to sell out, so please let us know if you'd like to bring more than two staff and if space allows, we will be in touch. Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
Please note: Junction is intended for NFG's funder community. To check your foundation's membership status, please reach out to Lauren Goudaeux, Senior Membership Manager, at [email protected].
NFG is seeking sponsors for Junction. Considering the political climate and economy and the costs of engaging movement partners, food and beverage, event space, travel, and safety, our budget for this event is $100,000.
With your organization’s sponsorship, you will help NFG in ensuring that this work is done in true collaboration with movement partners. Your support will help us create a bold space rooted in deep collaboration and long-term strategy to build a better future.
You can review NFG's sponsorship packet to explore the opportunities to support Junction. Please reach out to Manisha Vaze, Vice President of Programs, if you have any questions.
