2024 Foundation Leadership Forum
January 28–30, 2024
InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown
Los Angeles, CA
Connect and build partnerships for success.
The 28th annual Foundation Leadership Forum, the only national convening of college and university foundation leaders, brings together over 650 foundation board members, chief executives, and other foundation and campus leaders and industry experts. The conference affords a unique opportunity for foundation trustees and staff leaders to focus on the fundamentals of foundation governance, learn from other foundations, build peer and professional networks, and explore emerging issues and innovative practices with sector leaders and industry experts.
Key reasons to attend the 2024 Foundation Leadership Forum:
Elevate Leadership and Engagement
The Forum includes workshops focused on helping board chairs and chairs-elect prepare for and fulfill their special leadership role. Other workshops provide guidance and resources for new and prospective foundation CEOs. Plenary and concurrent sessions throughout the program address principles of trusteeship, board assessment, committee responsibilities, and other factors critical to both board engagement and leadership.
Elevate Performance
Over 30 concurrent sessions and topical workshops provide insights on the full spectrum of foundation functions. Attendees learn about the ways other foundations are working to strengthen governance, enhance endowment management, and grow fundraising, and other ways they are innovating and providing strategic support to their partner institutions.
Elevate Impact
Unlike other professional conferences, the Forum is designed to be attended by teams including both foundation board members and foundation and institution staff leaders. The collective experience helps foundation volunteers and professionals develop a shared understanding of foundation leadership fundamentals, learn about evolving challenges and emerging and innovative practice, and identify strategies to elevate their foundations’ impact on their partner institutions and the students and communities they serve.
