A signature of NY Funders Alliance is the presentation of high-quality programming, connection opportunities, and networking forums for grantmakers who work and fund in New York State. In the last several years we have held signature events in Rochester, Albany, and Syracuse.

The event will include thoughtful plenary presentations, engaging breakout sessions, and new networking opportunities for grantmakers from across New York State. Each element of the conference will create space for funders to learn together and share best practices to advance effective philanthropy in our state.

See you in….

THANK YOU TO OUR 2024 EXHIBITORS:

The conference is designed by grantmakers for grantmakers, and a critical component of the planning process is the Conference Planning Committee. This group is made up of members and will help identify breakout session topics and themes, design networking spaces, and add local character to the event. The Planning Committee ensures the conference is representative of the ideas and values of grantmakers in New York State, and their input is essential.

We are grateful to the 2024 NYS Funders Conference Steering Committee for their support of this year’s event!
