GCYF 2015 Annual Meeting: Learning from the past, preparing for the future
November 3-4, 2015
Washington, DC
Click here to learn more about the conference. 

This year marks GCYF’s 30th anniversary of promoting effective grantmaking that integrates research, policy and practice to bring about systemic change for children, youth and families – each year teaching us new lessons about philanthropy. In modest and thoughtful retrospect, the 2015 GCYF Annual Convening will focus on you – our members, and the difference you’ve made in the lives of children, youth and families.  In this spirit, the 2015 GCYF Annual Conference will explore the theme of Learning from the Past, Preparing for the Future. In that context, the convening will consider lessons we have learned as CYF grantmakers, and consider how these lessons apply to the future – not only to the individual work of grantmakers, but the work we do collectively to strengthen philanthropy to take on the many challenges that children, youth and families face.
