On May 6-8, 2024, VFN hosted its 3rd annual conference at the Omni Hotel in Richmond, Virginia. Nearly 300 philanthropy executives, trustees, and staff members from across the Commonwealth have registered were in attendance for this year’s sold-out conference, making this event one of the largest gatherings of Virginia’s philanthropic community.
The 2024 conference theme, Stronger Together: Collective Action, Collective Impact, was carefully crafted to build and advance VFN’s vision, mission, and values statements. The agenda intentionally focused on how philanthropy can work together and across sectors to advance opportunities for all who call Virginia home.
