Save the Date for GEO's 2025 Learning Conference, hosted in partnership with North Carolina Network of Grantmakers, from May 5 - 6, 2025 in Charlotte, NC.

Healing ourselves and our communities is integral to equity work and requires us to think of healing as a community activity, not just one that happens on an individual level. This session explores the concept of community care, delving into its individual, organizational, and systemic dimensions, and taking into account self-care within the current sociopolitical landscape. Drawing on inspiriting examples, this session will explore models and frameworks that demonstrate the power of community care. It will illuminate how to effectively foster and resource a culture of care within the self, organizations and community. We'll discuss ways to institutionalize these practices, creating structures that prioritize the well-being of staff. Last, we'll explore how to build community care across organizational boundaries, fostering a network of support within the philanthropic sector.

At #GEO2024, Short Talks are engaging 20-minute keynote-style presentations that challenge current philanthropic culture and practice or inspire participants to think about the topic, their work and/or lives differently.

Join us virtually for the opening plenary of #GEO2024! Grounding in history, context and healing, this plenary will feature a series of thought-provoking Ignite Talks on what it takes to lead transformational change while tending to the past, present and future.

Join us to explore how we can transform philanthropic culture and practice at GEO's 2024 National Conference held in partnership with Philanthropy California from May 20 - 22, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.
