Thank you for your interest and welcome to the
2025 Unity Summit Call For Sessions form!
Deadline to submit session applications:
Friday, May 2, 2025, 11:59 pm Pacific Time (Updated 4/22)
The Unity Summit is a space for action, where we strategize, build, and strive toward justice; where funders, organizers, and community leaders unite to strengthen our movements, increase investments in our communities, and support the philanthropic sector to meet the moment.
This year’s Summit, taking place October 27–30, 2025, will host nearly 1,500 participants in person in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and another 300 virtually.
We are calling for well-developed, thoughtful proposals that advance actionable strategies and tactics for justice, power-building, and solidarity in philanthropy.
- Proposals must be focused, concrete, and driven by clear intention.
- Sessions should be well-prepared and aligned with the considerations outlined in the Call For Sessions page, though we recognize details may evolve.
- If selected, you will have a chance to finalize your session description before we launch our event platform a few weeks before the Summit.
Given the volume of submissions and limited session slots, final session selections will be competitive. For the 2023 Unity Summit, approximately 30% of submissions were selected.
This submission form is designed to help reviewers understand how your proposed session addresses philanthropic practice in this critical moment, and how it aligns with the Unity Summit’s goals and focus areas. We recommend keeping the Call For Sessions page open in another tab or window for easy reference.
Submissions will be reviewed by the 2025 Unity Summit Planning Committee, and the final slate of selected sessions will be announced Summer 2025.
