Philanthropy Together along with Philanos and other networks are hosting the We Give Summit throughout the month of May! 

The We Give Summit is designed to ignite and unite all of us in the powerful movement of collective giving.

Open to giving circle members, philanthropy experts, community leaders, and social impact newcomers, we've been learning, growing, and dreaming together across four weeks in May as we joined sessions centered on this year's theme: Stronger Together.

Here's a quick event overview:

• 100+ incredible speakers who are making an impact their community through collective giving including Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, Emmy-Winning Documentary Filmmaker Abigail Disney, Author Edgar Villanueva.
• 25+ sessions that began on May 4 and have continued every Wednesday and Thursday throughout the month.
• Hundreds of giving circle members and supporters from around the world connecting during lively networking events.
• Session topics are covering everything from connecting with the next generation of givers to embedding racial equity into your giving circle to building a movement.

If you've been participating, we hope you've been enjoying it so far. If you haven't yet had a chance, it's not too late to join in the learning and fun! See the full schedule and register here.
