NFG’s Integrated Rural Strategies Group (IRSG) is excited to invite you to join us for our fifth annual flagship event – the 2025 Rural Equity Summit!
Launched in 2020, this annual gathering has become a vibrant space for building connections, sparking action, and deepening our commitment to rural equity.
Set to take place over two days, March 4th-5th 2025, we're diving into planning the powerful discussions and experiences that will shape the 2025 Summit.
That being said, if you’d like to help shape the program or have ideas for what you'd love to see, please reach out—we’d love your input as we bring this Summit to life! Maybe you:
- Have a grantee or two that you'd love to see featured as a speaker;
- Hope to organize other funders to invest in a specific place, campaign, or issue; or
- Seek space for peer learning around moving money to local-level rural organizing.
Reach out to Lindsay at lindsay@nfg.org so we can hear your thoughts and discuss how to plug you in to the Summit.
This event takes place over two adjacent afternoons, we encourage you to register for both afternoons if able, but you are welcome to join for whatever portion(s) align best with your interest and schedule!
**Please note that you must register separately for each day**
