Vision to Action: Empowering Community Foundations for Lasting Impact

Call for Sessions Guide

In today's dynamic philanthropic landscape, community foundations are challenged to blend visionary thinking with actionable strategies that yield real-world results. The goal of the AdNet 2025 Conference sessions is to provide particpants with:
- the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to harmonize their bold visions with actionable steps;
- a toolkit of practical strategies and best practices that can be immediately applied within their community foundations
- an understanding of the evolving landscape of community foundations and the latest methods and observations to stay ahead.
We are looking for sessions that address these themes and speak to the wide range of attendees with a balance of professional development, inspiring new ideas and ways of thinking, and providing educational benefit. AdNet represents a wide variety of community foundations from across the US and as such, we are committed to diversity and inclusion. We urge proposers to use the conference sessions as an opportunity to include new voices and offer diverse viewpoints.
